[Phishing] Fake Coinbase text message

I'm seeing this one for the first time today. Not a lot of red flags to warn the average Coinbase user.

From a '+63' (Philippines) number:
"Your Coinbase withdrawal code is: 296551. Please do not share this code with anyone. If you have not requested this, please call: (888) 531-4099. REF: CB483072"

Scammers claiming issues with package deliveries and unpaid tolls are also coming from that country code. I can see how this one might claim some victims with technophobes latching onto Coinbase as their first wallet.
