I received a Coinbase scam email earlier today and honestly it's the best one I've ever seen. Hats off to you, and fuck you, to those scammers. They're going to steal millions with this.



It's all legitimate sounding, and I honestly believed it at first, until I read the part where they gave me 12 seed words to use in my self custody Coinbase Wallet 😂

Help your friends and family. If they use Coinbase, reach out to them and let them know that it's a scam. (And help them withdraw to a real wallet that they own.)

The scammers now have access to AI so they don't have to worry about their bad English. Email needs a massive upgrade. We need to implement my idea that when someone sends an email, the sender of the email is required to pay 2 satoshi. 1 Satoshi goes to the receiver of the email and the other 1 ...

I got about 6 emails from BlockFi yesterday. I have no idea if I have any money there or not. That was years ago. But when the emails come in and tell you to do something within 24 hours (like these did), huge red flag.

Any recommendations on real wallet? I'm still custodial. Worried about my ability to keep keys secure and possible hardware failure. Also concerned about ability to easily/safely trade when I need to. There are scary stories for self custody too.

I was just thinking that if I was to scam crypto holders via email, I would send them a bunch of really bad looking emails with spelling errors et cetera for a couple of weeks. They will be conditioned and accustomed to low quality scam and think they're sharp and smart. Then I'd send them a perfect...

Hey i got this too! I only read up to the part about unregistered securities, scrolled up and checked the header, saw it came from akamai and thought "hmm, clever", before clicking delete.

I laughed when I saw a payment confirmation from paypal. 1. It had my email 2. Nice letter head and all 3. It told me I sent money to Coinbase 4. But it also told me how much BTC I was buying... ERM why? 5. It was in dollars. 6. It presented a phone number to call to cancel the transaction... I c...
