I bought this message from “Coinbase” to the e-mail account that I exploit for Coinbase:
“Your account is missing some info that we need to comply with financial regulations. As a result, your account is now prohibited. In order to re-enable purchaseing and promoteing, please verify your identity by providing a valid ID document.”
It got here with the graphical Coinbase brand and a confirm button however trying on the originating area, it got here from Lahore, Pakistan. Is it a case of a Coinbase leak or simply scammers casting a large web?
