My Dad Lost Millions to an Extremely Sophisticated Coinbase Impersonation Scam - 7+ WEEKS OF CONSTANT CONVO - Has Anyone Else Experienced This Level of Manipulation? My dad just got scammed out of millions in what feels like a highly targeted, weeks-long manipulation attack. I'm trying to figure out if this is a common scam pattern or if he was specifically targeted. My dad was scammed out of several million dollars in what feels like a highly targeted, weeks-long manipulation attack. I'm trying to figure out if this is common or if he was specifically targeted. The Timeline: In late May 2026, my dad's Coinbase account was compromised. When he contacted real Coinbase support to recover it, they locked his account and put him through verification—multiple times over three weeks. But a scammer named "Andrew Richards" was somehow aware of every verification attempt. He'd call my dad right after, pretend to be a Coinbase employee, and guide him through the process while building trust.
