CoinSpot Scam Text | +61 2 4072 1957 a Scam Number

There are scam text messages circulating that claim to be from CoinSpot (the Australian cryptocurrency exchange) but are not legitimate.

Here’s a breakdown of how they work and how you can protect yourself.

✅ What’s going on

• CoinSpot itself warns that scammers are using SMS (smishing) and calls to impersonate themExample: Texts that say something like:

• “CoinSpot: Your withdrawal code is xxxxxx. Please do not share this code with anyone. If you did NOT request this, call +61 2 4072 1957” — reported as scam.

• Numbers reported include: 02 8311 0380, 03 9340 8269, 02 4072 1957, etc., which have been flagged for impersonating CoinSpot.

• The Australian authority National Anti‑Scam Centre notes that scammers often send texts claiming “unauthorised activity” on your account and prompt you to click a link or call a number.

🚫 Red flags to watch out for

These are signs a message might be a scam:

• You receive an unsolicited SMS claiming there’s suspicious activity on your CoinSpot account, especially asking you to call a number.

• The SMS includes a code or link and urges you to act immediately.

• The sender number is unfamiliar or from an overseas/odd area code.

• You did not initiate any action (login, withdrawal, device change) but still get a “security alert”.

• The message asks you to share your login credentials, 2FA code, or to send crypto/funds to another wallet.

• The website it links to looks slightly off, or you’re asked to download remote‑access software.

• The message claims to be CoinSpot but CoinSpot says they “will never ask you to call a mobile number from an SMS.”

🛡 What you should do

If you receive such a text:

1. Don’t respond. Don’t call the number, don’t click the link, don’t share codes.

2. Log in to your CoinSpot account via their official site/app without using the link to check for any alerts or unauthorised activity.

3. Enable strong security settings:

   • Use an app‑based 2FA (not SMS if possible).

   • Use the Anti‑Phishing Phrase feature that CoinSpot offers.

4. Report the scam:

   • To CoinSpot Support.

   • To Australian authorities (e.g., Scamwatch, CyberSecurity centre).

5. Block the number and if needed, alert your mobile carrier.

6. Review all your accounts for any unusual transactions, and consider changing passwords/2FA.
