Title: Cryptsy class action against Counbase
Post by: moviebuff777 on January 17, 2020, 09:12:30 PM
I recently got an email about a class action lawsuit against Coinbase to recover Cryptsy coins that were held on Coinbase.

Does anyone know if this is legitimate or is this a scam?

That was settled just recently.

Can you post the email content here? Why scam? Is it asking for your private credentials?

I’m just careful to click links in emails and providing information because of phishing scams, and Trojan horses. I wanted to make sure it was legit before going to the website they list or clicking on a link. I’ll try to post on here when I get a chance.
