“We’re hitting CEOs, CFOs, software engineers,” the brazen scammer told Casa CEO Nick Neuman: “We don’t call poor people.”
Crypto phishing scammers are apparently earning a five-figure weekly income by impersonating Coinbase support and have been using leaked data to target high-ranking crypto executives and software engineers.
CEO and co-founder of Bitcoin self-custody solutions provider Casa, Nick Neuman, said he was recently on a call with a Coinbase support scammer and ended up finding out more than he expected after he “decided to turn the tables on him and ask him about being a scammer.”
“We make a minimum of five figures a week; we hit $35K two days ago; we do it for a reason; there is money to be made in it,” responded the scammer when asked how much they made.
