This code is a two-factor authentication (2FA) code, which is triggered when someone attempts to log in to an account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><b>Creating Urgency:<\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>These scam texts often create a sense of urgency or fear, claiming that a withdrawal is being processed or that there&#8217;s a problem with your account. They want you to panic and click a link or call a fake phone number they provide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><b>Targeting Other Victims:<\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The most likely scenario is that a scammer has someone else&#8217;s phone number but your phone number is also tied to their account in some way, or they are just sending out texts to a large number of random people hoping to find someone who also happens to have a Coinbase account. They are trying to get you to provide the code to them, which would give them access to the real account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><b>Coinbase Does Not Text to Verify Transactions:<\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>According to Coinbase&#8217;s official support, they do not send out texts to verify transactions. Any message that does this is a phishing attempt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800000;\">What to Do<\/span><\/h2>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><b>Do Not Click Any Links:<\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The most important thing is to avoid clicking on any links in the text message. They are likely malicious and could lead you to a fake website designed to steal your information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><b>Do Not Call the Number:<\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The phone number provided in the text will connect you directly to the scammer. They will likely pose as a support agent and try to get you to give them your personal information or the code from the text.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><b>Delete the Text:<\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Delete the message and block the sender&#8217;s number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><b>Report the Phishing Attempt:<\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>You can report the text message to Coinbase&#8217;s security team by taking a screenshot and emailing it to <b>security@coinbase.com<\/b>.
