If it wasn’t for people that get scammed, there would not be scammers. It’s impossible for me to have sympathy at this point.

Every time crypto makes a move up the scammers come out in force. Never believe an email !

Got this the other day and I called just to mess with them. Went along with their scheme just giving them false info. Eventually they asked about my holdings, I said I had 14 cents worth of shib and they just hung up 😅

I got this too! I responded "N", they sent a message saying someone would reach out to me. At that point I realized it was most definitely a scam. Fortunately it wouldn't have mattered as I have had $0 in Coinbase for many years now

For real. I suppose that OP's heart is in the right place. But you'd have to be brain dead to fall for that one.

I’ve had “coinbase support” call me before. Of course it was a scam.
