For the last 6 months BitcoinWhosWho has received scam reports relating to some version of an email claiming to have used the recipient’s computer to create a video of recipient visiting adult websites and threatens to send it to recipients’ contacts if not paid $200-$400 in BTC within 20-24 hours.

How To Buy Bitcoin For Dummies
As anyone who’s been ripped off by a bitcoin scam artist can tell you, how you buy, sell, hodl or otherwise transact in crypto is a matter of who to trust with your private key.
The most trustworthy bitcoin exchange & wallet in the United States is Coinbase.com.
Founded in 2012, Coinbase is one of the oldest and largest bitcoin exchanges still in operation. In addition to bitcoin, they also facilitate transactions in Ethereum, Litecoin and recently began offering Bitcoin Cash. For beginners and experts looking for hassle-free storage and best-in-class security there is no better option.
Fake Coinbase Support Phone Number 1-888-455-1155
BitcoinWhosWho received a couple reports about a Coinbase support phone scam. 1-888-455-1155 is not a real Coinbase support number! It’s a fake that shows up in a lot of web search results.
The scam according to one report.
Users google “coinbase phone support” and get a phone number from google’s search results that leads them to a sophisticated scam in which an operator tells them to send money…
The scam has yielded at least 13.75 BTC so far.

Don’t Be Fooled By Colnbase or MyEthenWallet Scams
We received two somewhat convincing phishing emails recently from colnbase.support and myethenwallet.com. Hilarious misspelling aside, it’s not so funny if one of these scams tricks you into entering your private information on the bogus websites they provide.
BitcoinWhosWho does not have any bitcoin addresses associated, please report if you know any! Continue reading Don’t Be Fooled By Colnbase or MyEthenWallet Scams
