Scam of the Week: Don’t Call These Crypto Criminals

In this week’s scam, you receive an email that appears to be from Coinbase, a platform that allows you to buy, sell, and store cryptocurrency (crypto). The email says that a new wallet address has been set up to make withdrawals from your account. Wallets are tools that are used to manage crypto that you sell or receive. An unexpected email about a new wallet might alarm you, since it might seem like someone is making unauthorized purchases on your account.
