Boyfriend was helping a family member with their bitcoin and told them to go to “Coinbase Pro”. They typed in “coinbasepro.com” (an honest mistake) and ended up on this scam site.

Their password didn’t work so they went through contacting customer support and red flags started waiving and Boyfriend got them out. Went to the real Coinbase Pro URL, changed passwords, locked funds, all safe.

The point of the story is you likely have friends and family members who are not as technical as you are. Who aren’t as cautious as you are. Who will do the “safe” things banks have been telling them to do to safe guide their money/account such as …. type in the URL, initiate the call to customer support yourself, etc. …. and still end up scammed.

Be patient.

Be kind.

Try to help them at the level they are at instead of the level you want them to be.
