Retired Artist Scammed Out of $2M in Crypto — Posed as Coinbase Rep!
HEARTBREAKING: A retired artist just lost $2 million in a brutal crypto scam.
The con?
A scammer impersonated a Coinbase rep, claiming the artist’s account needed “urgent verification.”
What followed was a perfectly crafted phishing nightmare — and the victim unknowingly handed over access to their digital fortune.
In minutes, a lifetime of savings… gone.
This incident is a stark reminder:
If someone contacts you about your crypto — double-check, triple-check.
NO real exchange will ever ask for your credentials over the phone.
Stay smart. Stay skeptical.
