Coinbase’s Rule of Thumb: Break the Attacker’s Tempo
-

Coinbase’s guidance on support impersonation scams is intentionally simple: if someone contacts you unexpectedly and pressures you to act fast, assume it’s a scam. The company stresses that it will never ask for login credentials, 2FA codes, seed phrases, or request transfers to new wallets, vaults, or “secure” addresses.
The safest response is to end the interaction and verify independently using official Coinbase channels—not links, numbers, or case IDs provided during the call. Social engineering only works when attackers control the pace, and breaking that rhythm is often enough to prevent funds from being lost.
