Based on multiple user reports from online forums and communities, the phone number 844-629-0213 is associated with a common cryptocurrency scam, specifically impersonating Coinbase support.
Here’s how the scam typically works:
The Text Message:
- You may receive a text message stating that a large cryptocurrency withdrawal or some other unauthorized activity has been detected on your account. The message will often include a fake “withdrawal code” and instruct you to call a number, which is 844-629-0213, to cancel the transaction.
The Impersonation:
- When you call the number, the person on the other end will pretend to be a customer support representative from Coinbase (or another major exchange). They will use social engineering tactics to create a sense of urgency and panic.
The Goal:
- The scammer’s objective is to trick you into revealing sensitive information, such as your password, two-factor authentication codes, or even to grant them remote access to your device. Once they have this information, they will attempt to empty your crypto wallet.

How to Protect Yourself:
Do not call the number.
- A legitimate company, including Coinbase, will never call you unsolicited about a transaction.
Do not provide any personal information.
- Never give out passwords, passcodes, or any other sensitive data to an unknown caller.
Verify directly.
- If you receive a suspicious message, log in to your account directly through the official website or app to check for any unauthorized activity. Do not use any links or numbers provided in the message.
Block and report.
- Block the number on your phone and report the scam to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) if you are in the U.S.
