These fraudulent messages<\/a> <\/strong>instruct recipients to create self-custodial wallets using pre-generated recovery phrases\u2014allowing attackers to seize control once assets are deposited.<\/p>\n

Some victims have shared screenshots of emails allegedly from Coinbase, warning them of a class-action lawsuit and urging them to switch to a new wallet before an April 1 deadline. The email provides a real download link for Coinbase Wallet but tricks users into using a compromised recovery phrase. Gemini users have reported nearly identical scams, with emails falsely citing a court ruling as the reason for the wallet migration.<\/p>\n

Both exchanges have denied any connection to these emails. Coinbase has reminded users it never provides recovery phrases, while Gemini has yet to issue a formal statement.<\/p>\n
