Heads up, crypto enthusiasts! There's a sneaky Coinbase text scam making the rounds, and you need to be aware. Scammers are sending fake text messages pretending to be from Coinbase, often claiming suspicious activity on your account or needing urgent verification.
These texts usually contain a link that leads to a fake Coinbase login page designed to steal your username, password, and even your two-factor authentication code. Once they have this information, they can access your real Coinbase account and drain your funds.
**Here's how to stay safe:**
* **Never click on links in suspicious texts.** Always go directly to the Coinbase website or app by typing the address yourself.
* **Enable two-factor authentication.** This adds an extra layer of security to your account.
* **Verify any concerns directly with Coinbase support.** If you receive a suspicious text, contact Coinbase support through their official website or app, not through any phone number or link provided in the text.
* **Be wary of urgent requests.** Scammers often use urgency to pressure you into acting quickly without thinking.
Stay vigilant and protect your crypto! If something feels off, it probably is. Report any suspicious activity to Coinbase immediately.
