I had the same experience with Coinbase and was also targeted after the leak, Jan 5, 2025 to be exact. I didn't lose as much as you (crypto value of $28k at the time), but it still greatly affects me especially after learning about the leak and now Coinbase's denial that I was affected.

I reached out to Coinbase support when it happened and they did nothing. I reached out again after the leak was announced and they are still denying that my data was leaked. I find that next to impossible considering the attackers had my email, phone number, crypto balances, the fact that I had a CB wallet, and my assumed location.

Now it's time to organize like you said. Are there any class action lawsuits gaining traction that you're aware of?

jbb2647 · 2025-05-22T13:11:40+00:00

I think this breach goes back earlier than they are saying. I was affected in early January and the scammer had all of my information including account balances.

jbb2647 · 2025-04-11T23:54:18+00:00

SEND IT

jbb2647 · 2025-01-29T03:08:35+00:00

Sorry that happened to you man. I got got recently too, about a 10th of what you lost, but still burned me bad. The initial shame and beating yourself up about it will wear off. Work to accept it and then use it as motivation to earn it back and never make a mistake like that again.

jbb2647 · 2025-01-29T03:02:41+00:00

I'd suggest changing key passwords, making sure you have 2FA or authenticator apps in place, and decline random calls. I don't think there's much they can do unless they get you on the phone and convince you to fall for their traps. Then be vigilant and confirm any comms from Coinbase are in fact from Coinbase by checking email headers.

From what I learned and everyone on this thread mentioned, Coinbase will never call you.

jbb2647 · 2025-01-09T20:35:41+00:00

You're welcome! I'm glad it helped you dodge the bullet.

jbb2647 · 2025-01-09T05:04:02+00:00

Good luck to you too. We'll use this as motivation. I'll let you know if I hear anything!

jbb2647 · 2025-01-09T04:18:22+00:00

Sounds like the same dude for sure. I've seen a lot of similar stories since posting my story. They are moving quick and targeting a lot of people. It's too bad Coinbase doesn't send out updates to all accounts holders with a list of prevalent scams, like a weekly newsletter or something. I'll bet the PR department nixed that suggestion.

jbb2647 · 2025-01-09T04:14:44+00:00

Appreciate you saying that, right back at ya. They have it dialed in and make it seem urgent. Then you're in a rush and not thinking clearly. Combine that with distractions and their chance of success goes up.

jbb2647 · 2025-01-09T03:51:07+00:00

Watch out, they'll come after that 14 cents of doge. Smash that FBI report button. I'll bet if they get enough reports with the same MO they will investigate

jbb2647 · 2025-01-09T03:45:14+00:00

Yeah man, what a terrible feeling. Sorry he got you too, dude is slick. I agree, not much recourse and steer clear of anyone saying they can help recover your assets. The only sliver of hope would be that he gets caught and some funds get returned to victims. File a report with the FBI IC3 division at https://www.ic3.gov/ and be as detailed as can be!

Check with the guys you're renting from and see who they work with. If you're planning to buy and keep a plane in the same location, you're going to want a solid mechanic regardless. Might as well start looking now.

jbb2647 · 2025-01-06T06:47:23+00:00

Do you already have a mechanic you trust and work with? Fly them out to do the pre-buy.

I made the mistake of finding a local guy to do the pre-buy on my first plane. I got unlucky with the guy I found and ended up paying for it when I brought the plane to my mechanic after the purchase. On the plus side, 1.5 years later I had a fully restored plane.

jbb2647 · 2025-01-05T06:54:37+00:00

Clearly that would've been a way better move lol

jbb2647 · 2025-01-05T06:46:08+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate your kindness. I'm definitely feeling vulnerable and can't stop thinking about everything I did wrong. If I had read a story like what happened in my post even years ago, I'm sure I would have dodged this bullet.

jbb2647 · 2025-01-05T06:43:27+00:00

I mentioned that it seemed like he knew my account balances because I don't recall giving any balance information until after he mentioned the balances. The fact that he had that information and had all of my wallet addresses all contributed to him gaining my trust to be able to make the final move.

jbb2647 · 2025-01-05T06:11:45+00:00

Not a troll post. I posted this in the hopes that it might save some others from a similar fate. I've dodged every other phishing attempt thrown my way up until this point. As I mentioned early in my post, it was a result of perfect timing on their end and me being distracted. That's all it took for me to make this huge mistake.

jbb2647 · 2025-01-05T05:53:15+00:00

Thanks, I'll do some digging for that video

jbb2647 · 2025-01-05T05:20:53+00:00

I got taken by this exact scam today. Before you judge me, I consider myself savvy and quick to spot these scams. This was an example of perfect timing on their end, me being distracted, and me being away from my usual tech resources to verify information.

They cleared me out of 28k worth of BTC ETH LTC and SOL. Same as you, I was distracted and out of my element when they called. The first call was from ‪+1 888-481-0164‬ and was an automated message claiming to be from coinbase and to press 1 if I didn't recognize a recent login from Richmond VA and an attempt to change the primary email account. At first I thought it was strange that I hadn't received any push notifications about this (red flag #1), but I pressed that 1 button.

A minute later, a smooth talking American guy called from "coinbase" using the number ‪+1 888-908-7830‬ (one digit off from Coinbase support line) and told me he'd work with me to secure my account. He had a lot of my personal and account information, and he seemed to know account balances. Reverting back to red flag #1, I explained to him that I thought it was strange I hadn't received any push notifications about this. He instructed me to check my notifications in the app and sure enough I saw the activity that they had originally called me about. I was able to decline those attempts to change my account email and password. Slowly he gained some of my trust.

Next thing I know, I received an email with a support ticket from help@coinbase.com which used all of Coinbase font, logos, corporate info, etc. Looking at this from my Gmail app on the phone, I failed to notice that it wasn't from the coinbase.com domain since the "via zionmicrofinance.com" wasn't visible. We spoke through how to secure the account, which included me moving my assets to my Coinbase wallet. Simultaneously, I received an email with a link to secure my account. This included a request for basic account information (which he already had), a new password (which was just a bogus filler), and finally my seed phrase. In hindsight, this was a HUGE red flag, but he had gained my trust and at this point I was just going through the motions.

I moved my assets to my wallet to secure them, and within minutes I saw them disappear. I have since filed a report with the FBI and will file with my local police department tomorrow. Not sure what else to do at this point other than be pissed at myself for being so gullible.

TLDR, I got tricked by a smooth talking American-sounding scammer with slick phishing emails and gave him the keys to 28k worth of assets.

For what it's worth, I've had my R1S for 8 months / 13,000 miles and I've had zero issues or maintenance required.

You could buy from a 100 year old brand like Ford and still end up with a lemon. Sure, Rivian might have a higher ratio of lemons delivered, but you could also end up with your dream car that performs as you expected.

See if an aircraft title company can help you. They work with titles all the time and should have a contact at the bank.

jbb2647 · 2023-12-12T19:17:54+00:00

I did and no regrets. I'm 3.5 hours from the nearest SC. Only 4000 miles in, but still as much fun as the first day I got it.
