PSA: Scam Email about ERC20 Tokens at Coinbase

in ethereum •  7 years ago 

Indeed they will add them at some point and ive spoke of that some time ago. Yet its not right now and not this way.

Here is the scam email

Notice it even links to official ann that erc20 will be supported, but if you click the link you will end up at www-colnbase.com/tokens/import

It was reported many times so hopefully is down now but there may be smarter redirects later.

On the other hand they just bought a mobile ethereum wallet and a Dapp browser along with whole team.

Cipher Browser by HardFork Inc. is the world's first full-featured mobile Web 3 DApp browser and wallet for the Ethereum blockchain. Cipher allows you to interact with Web 3 decentralized applications (DApps) powered by Ethereum on your iOS device and makes it easy for you to securely store, send and receive Ether and ERC20 tokens.

Cipher's mission is to bring the power of Ethereum blockchain and decentralized applications to as many people as possible.

Never trust links in emails, always check website urls and SSLs to be proper.

Thanks for sharing, everyone has to be more careful this days on crypto space

Make everyone see this

Don't give this scammer money and motivation to carry on !!

This made me think of that saying about dotting your i's and crossing your t's as the fake coinbase link has no f'n i. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey I thought this was for real. A guy in my feed posted this. Shit!
Thanks for the info man, really

It looks really a stupid scam email.

Always good to double and triple check. There are a bunch of scammers out there and it is up to each person to be responsible with their money. Crypto has a certain aire of self reliance that I really like; you are responsible for you and if you mess up, you lose out. This is the kind of self reliability not seen these days.

Thanks for sharing information :)

How much care must be taken not to fall into traps, you have to denounce until the last instances to return honesty to people

So annoying! These scam emails are getting kinda convincing. Kudos to you for sharing this valuable information. Thankfully I haven't gotten this email but I am so grateful to you for making this available to help others avoid the trap.

Amigo @kingscrowm
De verdad que gracias por esta información.
Nunca he realizado transferencias a ningún exchange. Por ahora no lo considero por tener poco dinero; pero me da pánico hacerlo. Necesito y estoy en eso de asesorarme en los tutoriales y con los stiminianos.
De hecho tengo problemas hasta para verificar mi identidad en Bitrex que creo resolver pronto.
De verdad Gracias por existir.
Saludos

Good to know these scammers are getting out of hand!

Thanks for this eye opener

We are in the crypto space people. A still young realm. We always need to be very careful​ about each step we are doing :) Thanks for that @kingscrown.
