Title: Newbie Got Scammed on Coinbase, Need Help

Hey guys, I'm new to crypto and I just got burned on Coinbase. I tried to sell some ETH and the transaction got stuck. Now my coins are locked and I'm getting some shady emails claiming I owe Coinbase fees.

Sorry to hear that you got scammed, newbie. Did you follow the two-factor auth and keep your accounts secure? We gotta get you through this, so what happened exactly?

"Dude, sorry to hear that you got scammed. Can you give us more details on what happened? Maybe someone on here can help you sort it out with Coinbase's support or figure out what went wrong."

"Had a similar issue last year with a phishing email. Be sure to check the actual Coinbase site for links and not just what's in the email. Did you report the issue to their support team?"

"Dude, sorry to hear that. I've got a friend who went through the same thing, they just reported the incident to Coinbase's support and got their funds back. Have you tried contacting them yet?"

"Dude, sorry to hear that. Can you tell us more about what happened? Was it a phishing email or did you get hacked through Coinbase itself?"

"Hey OP, sorry to hear that you got scammed on Coinbase. Can you tell us a bit more about what happened? Did you try contacting their support or do you think it was a phishing site that got your credentials?"

"Dude, sorry to hear that. Check your email for the "login alert" from Coinbase, I think that usually pops up when someone tries to log in from a new device and they might be able to give you a heads up on when the scammer last interacted with your account."

"Dude, I'm so sorry to hear that. Did you use 2FA on the account? If so, they might not be able to access it, and you can try contacting Coinbase support to see if they can freeze the account"

"Dude, sorry to hear that. Did you enable 2FA on your Coinbase account and report the login attempt to them ASAP? Also, have you changed your password and checked your email for any suspicious messages?"
