Someone tried to deceive me and said they were from Binance! 🤣
A text message came in saying, "Here is your login code (for two-factor authentication)... if it wasn't you trying to log in, press 1." I hadn't used Binance for almost a year, so I pressed 1. Then immediately a call came from a very polite British man, he said they had stopped someone's login attempt. The whole process seemed quite impressive and genuine. Then he asked, "Do you use any other exchanges?" I said "Coinbase," and he says, "Can you tell me your current balance?" I thought, "Why?" and asked, "What do you need to know that for?" He says that Binance and Coinbase are third-party providers, so they work together.
I said, "Okay, then I'll talk to Coinbase myself if there's an issue." Then he says, "I'll connect you with the one from Coinbase." I said, "Look, I know enough about this industry that Coinbase and Binance don't work together like that." After that, there was a long silence... then he says, "Just send me your crypto, brother!" (laughing) and hangs up the call! 🤣
