  Scam calls claiming to be from Coinbase have unfortunately become quite common. To protect yourself, always remember that Coinbase will never call you directly and ask for your personal information or account details. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately. Additionally, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Coinbase account to add an extra layer of security. Be cautious of any unsolicited calls or messages asking for your sensitive information, and never share your account credentials with anyone.

  Scammers pretending to be from Coinbase are getting craftier these days. One way to protect yourself is to never give out your personal information or account details over the phone. Coinbase will never ask for this information through a call. If you're unsure about the legitimacy of a call, hang up and contact Coinbase directly through their official website or app. Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Stay smart and keep those scammers away from your hard-earned digital assets!
