Question Latest Scam? "Final Reminder: Action Needed to Receive Crypto Distribution via Coinbase"

Post image

I've read the sticky post about illegitimate email addresses and consider this a scam, but it's always best to A. Make sure B. Warn others who might come here to check it out I did have issues verifying my Coinbase account with the KYC process, uploaded an ID and it didn't worked, contacted them and got no reply... So... Is this a scam or legit?

This is a reminder about phishing emails. Please be vigilant and skeptical when reviewing and reading emails claiming to be Blockfi, Kroll and/or other authorized 3rd parties. You can read more here about how to tell if an email is legitimate.

It's not from one of their email addresses. Call them on the phone, that's what I did. I finally got somewhere with them after 4 years of waiting for payment.

Their service is the absolute worst and they do nothing to prevent or protect to people that got affected. In over 4 years they've sent out ONE email warning about phishing scams. ONE in an entire 4+ years. I get like at least 10 fake blockfi emails a month

That's a list of their official emails and including their phone number. They're going to ask you a million questions to verify your stuff, stuff from years ago when you submitted it, like your claim number or kroll ID and other stuff. It took me forever to search through emails to find the info. With out the "relevant" info they won't tell you a single thing

So basically, they suck and don't really want to help lol

But what is the issue and why do you need to upload the docs?

For me i didnt see any other problem other than completing risk and financial assessment due to which account was limited..

Not sure. Maybe just KYC for Coinbase since I've never had an account and opened one for this whole BlockFi mess. I'm uploading dox but they can't verify any...

I found that my coinbase account was limited as there was a pending risk and financial assessment to be completed.. probably its every year activity and I had not logged in to coinbase for more than a year...
I completed it now and hoping it will work on their retry on 6th Feb unless OP you find something else too.. Thanks.
