Step by step
How to check a message that claims to be from Coinbase
- 1
Look at the actual sender address, not just the name. Tap or hover over the name to reveal it. It must end in @coinbase.com, or a subdomain of one.
- 2
Do not use links or phone numbers from the message. Type coinbase.com into your browser or open the official Coinbase app, and check your account there.
- 3
Slow down when you see urgency, small fees, gift cards, crypto, or requests for codes and passwords. Those are the levers every scam pulls.
- 4
Still unsure? Paste the sender address or link into the checker above.
Questions
Coinbase scam FAQ
What email address does Coinbase use?
Genuine Coinbase email comes from addresses ending in @coinbase.com, or a subdomain of those (for example something@mail.coinbase.com). An address on any other domain, even one containing "coinbase", is not Coinbase.
Can scammers fake an @coinbase.com email address?
We are running the first check on coinbase.com. Until then, assume a sender address alone proves nothing and verify by visiting coinbase.com yourself.
Are there websites pretending to be Coinbase?

What should I do if I clicked a link in a fake Coinbase message?
Do not enter anything else. If you typed a password, change it at coinbase.com straight away and turn on two-step sign-in. If you entered card or bank details, call your bank using the number on your card. Then report the message using the guide below.
