Crypto Exchange Backed by Citadel Securities, Fidelity, Schwab Starts Operations wsj.com/articles/crypt…

Holy shit. I just got attacked with one of the most complex scams in #crypto that I have seen to date. Please read if you use @coinbase. This just happened 15 minutes ago. THIS IS A WARNING FOR ALL COINBASE USERS! There has been some sort of a data breach. First, I received a text message saying that my @coinbase 2FA was changed. I then received three calls from a @coinbase "customer support" that was from a San Fransisco number asking if I was traveling outside of the US and if I requested an email change and a 2FA change. (NOTE: I tried to record this, but couldn't find my wife's phone before they hung up) I said no to traveling and they said that they cancelled the 2FA and email change request and sent a text to verify it was cancelled. They then sent me to the 'security' team to verify my account to avoid a 48 hour suspension. They had my name, my email and my location and sent a 'verification code' email from help@coinbase.com to my personal email. I told them that I didn't need their assistance and I changed the password already and he told me that it wouldn't work to verify the account and that they would be locking it down for 7 days due to a lack of verification unless I provided the code. He then got angry and hung up the phone on me after I told him that I wouldn't provide the code. After the first text, I immediately logged into my #coinbase and changed the password and 2FA and caught on that it was a scam almost immediately, but I doubt that 98-99% of people that get this would realize it and would have unlocked their #coinbase accounts. For those unaware, the code they sent was my actual 2FA, but they sent it from their own email and were logging into my account to drain it while we were on the phone. Attached are the texts, phone calls and email from the scammers. Like and retweet to spread awareness please. Thanks.
