New Scam Alert: Coinbase Phishing Emails Making the Rounds
There’s a fresh scam in town, and it’s after your crypto.
Scammers are sending highly convincing emails that look like they’re from Coinbase, warning users of account restrictions or suspicious logins. These messages urge you to “verify your account”—but it’s a trap. A well-disguised one.
What Makes This One So Dangerous?
Unlike typical junk mail, this phishing campaign is:
- Well-designed with real Coinbase branding
- Free of typos and grammar fails
- Carefully crafted to trigger panic clicks
Once you click, you’re led to a nearly identical login page where your credentials (and potentially your wallet) are stolen.
What To Watch For:
- Emails from sketchy or lookalike domains
- Urgent calls to action: “Verify Now”, “Your Account Is Suspended”, etc.
- Fake login pages (hover links before clicking!)
Pro Tip: Coinbase emails always come from @coinbase.com. Anything else = 🚩
