All, someone tried to scam me and they were pretty good. Got a call saying they were from Coinbase and ‘authenticated’ me right away with my Coinbase, name, email and phone#.
He said this was in regards to a Coinbase data breech and not to give him any personal info, he would send me an email from Coinbase.com (he did), and for me to verify the authentication code. He sent several email verification requests form help@coinbase.com. I stopped there.
He had the email sent to me because he was the data breach trying to get me to send him the code or re-setup my account for the ‘temporary hold’ they were placing it on..
I asked to call him back on the Coinbase number and he hung up..
I wasn’t too worried because I knew my Coinbase acct was empty and I never use it, but it still scared me..
Apparently Coinbase really did have a data breach 3/14, this is how he had my info and tricked an email ‘from’ Coinbase
** DO NOT GIVE ANY INFO TO ANYONE SAYING THEY ARE COINBASE AND PUT YOUR SATS IN COLD STORAGE!!!
