I need to do some more research.

So I hang up.

I get a call back and it's another guy.

And he goes, oh, I'm the supervisor of so-and-so who you were just talking to.

And we really want to make sure you secure your account.

And at this point, like the fog has lifted and I'm thinking, oh my God, I literally almost just got scammed.

I'm looking back at the text, realizing that text didn't come from Coinbase and I hang up on the person.

It's very easy to become a victim and you should never be ashamed.

And I'm not ashamed.

I'm glad it happened to me so I could talk

about it.

I know we want to be polite and answer calls when people call us.

Do not answer.

That's number one.

There's also, if you have an Apple phone, sometimes it'll show up and say, hey, this is potential spam, which is great.

You just hit the power button and it sends it right to your voicemail.

Android phones also have special tools in the settings where you

And also, Vicki, you can report them too, right?

Yes, you definitely can.

And you can also, to block spam on your phone, you can also copy the message and forward it to 7726, which spells out the word spam.
