I have the addresses that the currencies were sent to but not sure if that helps with anything. They stole $26k in MATIC, AAVA, LINK, ETH in a scam that I foolishly fell for. Before I could do this my wallet was empty.
I hung up the phone and looked to my Coinbase Wallet so I could move the assets back to Coinbase. I ended the AnyDesk connection and he asked me to reconnect.
#Anydesk scams download#
It sounds like this persons friend got scammed by someone who called her and asked her to download the AnyDesk app. He said he is part of special team and is not on slack. Answer (1 of 3): This is a troubling story and one that should serve as a warning to all. According to victims, they received text messages to their telephones advising they will be charged for an Amazon purchase. I then got uncomfortable again and told them my wife works at Coinbase and I would like her to send the guy a slack message to confirm it was him. A scam has emerged where victims are asked to download an app to their mobile phones or other devices in doing so they end up losing money. I then was advised to move all of my assets to the wallet. At this point I felt a bit uneasy and asked for his employer ID, he read one to me, I typed it in google and a Coinbase employee showed up on Linkedin.
#Anydesk scams password#
I did and setup an account, because of AnyDesk, I assume they watched as I entered the password and then were able to login to the wallet. He said we need to move your assets to a wallet so we can identify where this hack is coming from and asked me to download Coinbase Wallet. He asked if I had a wallet, I said "no I keep my assets on coinbase so I can trade them". I was transferred to a male who also had an Indian accent. When I did, she said "OK I am now transferring you to our security team". AnyDesk ensures secure and reliable remote desktop. I was advised to download AnyDesk and read the number so they could connect to my phone. Connect to a computer remotely, be it from the other end of the office or halfway around the world. I was then told that they had identified suspicious activity from someone with an IP address in Indonesia who has attempted to transfer $2500 in BTC to another wallet. Answer (1 of 6): From personal experience Now mind you I work in IT and have for many years. What to do when scammed Step 1 Report the scam to your account providers (i.e. She asked if I bank with PNC which I confirmed. It asked if I recognized a recent transaction of $2500, if no it said "please press 1", I pressed 1 and a woman with an Indian accent came on the call, said they were on a Coinbase recorded line and asked me to verify some information (she asked for the last 4 digits of my bank account, which I read). When I picked up an automated message came identifying themselves as "Coinbase Fraud Protection". I am very embarrassed as it felt weird from the beginning - should have known that Coinbase does not call customers :( I don't think there is anything I can do but sharing so this doesn't happen to others. I was just scammed and lost $26k that I had on Coinbase from someone who got me on AnyDesk.
