Bitcoin Investor Sues Coinbase Following Customer Service Scam

(Spin Digit Editorial):- New York City, New York Sep 16, 2024 (Issuewire.com) – MDF Law announces the filing of a lawsuit against Coinbase on behalf of a Bitcoin investor who was defrauded following a customer service scam. The investor’s lawsuit seeks over $500,000 in damages, including interest and statutory attorneys’ fees. The case is currently pending before the American Arbitration Association, or AAA. The case number is 01-02-0005-9402.

As part of this scam, a victim searches Google for “Coinbase customer support” and unknowingly receives a hacker’s contact number when the search results are displayed. Posing as a legitimate Coinbase representative, the hacker convinces the victim that there’s an issue with their account, prompting them to share sensitive information like login credentials. Once the hacker gains access, they steal the victim’s Bitcoin, often leaving no trace for recovery. This type of scam takes advantage of trust in search results and urgency in customer service situations.

Coinbase may be legally liable to its customers when these hacking events take place. If you lost cryptocurrency through Coinbase as a result of a tech or customer service scam, you may be able to recover your stolen cryptocurrency. Call our law office at 800-767-8040 for more information.
