Crypto Scam Warning

Reported as a crypto-related scam call. Do not share verification codes, seed phrases, wallet access, or send funds to anyone who contacts you unexpectedly.

Immediate Safety Tip

If a caller claims your crypto account is “locked,” “compromised,” or “needs verification,” hang up. Real exchanges do not ask for your seed phrase, private keys, or one-time codes over the phone. If you’re concerned, open your exchange app/site directly (not via a link) and contact support using official help pages.

They had my name and said a transfer was pending. Pressured me to “confirm” right away. I called my exchange support separately—no issues.

Repeated calls, no voicemail. When answered, it was a scripted “fraud alert” message about crypto.

How to protect yourself from crypto scam calls

Crypto scams often rely on fear and speed. If anyone calls you about an “urgent security issue,” assume it’s a trap until proven otherwise. Use these steps to stay safe:

Do not engage on inbound calls
Hang up and contact support through the official website/app you open yourself.
Never share seed phrases
Seed phrases/private keys are the “master keys.” No legitimate support will ask for them.
Enable 2FA & alerts
Use authenticator apps where possible; enable withdrawal/transfer confirmations.
Report and document
Save call times, any texts/links, and report to CallersDB + official portals.

FAQ: 877-496-4626

This number has been reported by users as a scam caller associated with crypto-related impersonation attempts. If you receive a call, do not provide codes, seed phrases, or financial details.

Immediately change passwords, revoke sessions where possible, enable stronger 2FA, and contact your exchange using official help pages. Monitor accounts and report the incident to FTC/FCC/IC3 as appropriate.

Toll-free caller ID can look “official” and may increase answer rates. Also, caller ID information can be spoofed, so the displayed number alone is not proof of identity.

Submit a report describing the script (without personal info), note any links/apps they pushed, and include the timing/frequency of calls. Community reports help identify patterns faster.
