Several <a href="https://bitcoinworld.co.in/coinbase-bags-32-million-contract-from-doj-for-handling-confiscated-crypto/">Coinbase</a> users recently fell victim to crypto scams involving impersonators posing as Coinbase representatives, resulting in significant losses. 
One particularly alarming case involved a victim who disclosed part of their seed phrase after receiving a convincing phone call and email from a scammer claiming to be from Coinbase’s security team. 
The victim, having been led to believe their wallet was compromised and transactions <a href="https://x.com/theklineventure/status/1810068252900376999">were</a> imminent, entered a portion of their seed phrase on a fraudulent website, only to later discover a staggering loss of $1.7 million from their wallet. 
CEO Alex Miller emphasized the dangers associated with entering any part of a seed phrase on unauthorized websites, highlighting that even partial disclosures can lead to complete compromise by malicious actors.
