30 minutes ago I got a call from CoinBase stating I was involved in a data breach from Turbo Tax. It was from an automated robo call. About 30 seconds later guy calls, and explains I'm involved in a data breach. He says my account was compromised and that I needed to transfer funds to my wallet. I'm so f**cking stupid I fell for it. It took almost a half hour to go through the process, and I was dumb enough to go through the entire transaction before getting suspicious. The got the ETH, nothing else. It wasn't that much, about $300 and change, but that isn't the point. Thank God I didn't have anymore in there, and luckily when they started having me go through the rest of the assets I started to get wise. And of course that's when the call was disconnected. I can say it's losing the money that upsets me, but that isn't it. It's my stupidity and lack of paying attention. I'm 66. I'm old. Probably too old to be messing with this stuff. I'm lucky I haven't been messing with my crypto for quite a while so the funds are just minimal to keep the account active and open. I'm sick to my stomach that I was duped. Just had to share and get this off my chest. It's been years since I've been ripped off for anything, like 20 or more. It sucks getting old and being foolish, I'd say it's because I'm female, but even that can't be used as an excuse. I won't stop beating myself up over this for a long time. Caveat emptor, folks.
