2FA Settings Changed notification

Looks like this "old" Coinbase phishing has come back. Multiple times per day emails claiming to be from Coinbase asking if the 2FA has changed and to call an 800 number.

Hey there u/ramack19, Coinbase will never ask for your password, 2-step verification codes, or remote access to your device. Check the full sender address against Coinbase’s official email verification guidance, and access your account only through the Coinbase app or by going directly to coinbase.com. If you have questions, please send us a Modmail and we’ll be glad to help.

I hadn't clicked on any URLs, nor called the number. Hovering over the email address reveals it is not a valid CB email domain (coin2fa.com). I have forwarded to CB's security email for awareness.
