I have received almost the exact same message, but not from Coinbase. I’ve never fallen for a scam, but I fell for this one. I was in a rush at work read the message, called the phone number and realized with all the background chatter it was a scam call center and hung up. I was so shocked I had fallen for it, I wrote my family a summary laughing at myself that even a tech guy who watches YouTube scam revenge videos can get fooled.

You hung up and they got nothing out of you. I don't think that quite counts as falling for it.

Sure, but it certainly counts as a close call, and if you are serious about preventing failures, you should be alerting on and tracking close calls, not only actual failures.

E.g., factories used to have big signs about "XX Days Since A Time Lost Accident". I've seen more advance factories now posting "XX Days Since A Close Call". Important distinction because studying the close calls and taking action will prevent accidents better than waiting for an actual accident. Same for security failures.
