[Phishing] Coinbase Wallet Scam
1 min read
Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up about a sophisticated phishing email I received today. It was designed to look like a legitimate communication prompting me to ‘migrate my funds to a Coinbase Wallet.’ The design and language were very convincing, which is why I wanted to warn others. The red flag for me was the use of ‘akamai.com’ links, which immediately seemed suspicious in the context of a crypto wallet migration. The email even provided a 12-word seed phrase, instructing me to migrate my funds to that specific wallet. DO NOT, under any circumstances, use a seed phrase provided in an email! Always verify official communications through official channels. These scams are becoming increasingly elaborate, so please be extra cautious and double-check everything. Losing your crypto to these scams can be devastating!
Stay vigilant and safe out there; your awareness can protect you and others in the community.”
