So this is probably why the phishing calls have increased from ~1 per month to ~3 per week.. good to know... Wish coinbase would let me DO something about it... Maybe fresh accounts for everyone? Maybe KYC data not directly linked to accounts? There should be SOMETHING they can do because the sheer volume of people constantly harassing CB customers is nuts.

When i get those calls, i usually tell them “why dont i just save everyones time and just give you my bank account number, password and social security number? That sound good?”
