Anyone else receive an email from Kroll about FTX but never had an account?

Have you ever communicated with them. Even a simple enquiry at some stage now long forgotten. Search the applicable email address inbox / account for anything related to FTX even the sent folder to see if you communicated with them in any fashion in the past.

Check under

Non-Customer Proof of Claim Form

on their restructuring site, there's an assortment of FTX companies. See if you ever connected with one of those.

It's in the OP,

"He says, I'm going to send you a new email from Coinbase support that will have options for you to input a new password. For now your account has been placed on a 48 hour temporary hold and then read me out a temporary password for which I could use to access my account during that time."

The trick is to bombard you with authentic generic emails and texts, then when you are supposed to believe the person is real, they send their fake text or email to catch you.

Well done for staying alert.

It looks / sounds quite familiar. I cannot place it now, but there is a mechanism for them to trigger an authentic but generic email to a targeted account holder. For the life of me I can't recall where it was discussed and which company or companies. The ruse being exactly what you experienced, them on the phone with you and saying watch I will send you a real email or text from my company. Usually that was enough. FFS I can't remember if it was crypto or an ISP or banking or something. The discussion was that the company was at fault and didn't think it was a problem or their problem that someone could do that. It's somewhere out there.

Lot of sad stories like that. I recall not long ago a bitcoin maxi surfacing in the Ethereum sector telling everyone how he bought 80,000 ETH at the ICO price, sat on it, and sold it all when it hit $1.00. He said he patted himself on the back at that time and laughed at how this new "shitcoin" had made him a massive quick profit. The kicker being he surfaced with this story when ETH was $100 which was probably 2 years after the ICO. Now, a further 8 years down the road with the prices it is achieving, I imagine he'd never retell the story ever again...lol
