Wonder if it would be a good idea for coinbase to mention the possibility of you being scammed...

  At a coffee shop on the campus of my nearby university there's a bitcoin machine with a piece of paper above it outlining bitcoin scams. Coinbase really should follow suit with the standard "The IRS, FBI, Jesus will never ask you to send them bitcoin..."

  Why? They take a percentage out of everything you transfer, ofc they wouldn’t want to warn you.

    That’s a very narrow and cynical view of their business. It’s as easy to assume that a world in which crypto is a trusted, common method of value transfer benefits them if they’re a leader in that space.

  My local grocery store has a sign above the gift cards reminding people that government entities and utility companies will never ask for payment in gift cards. If they can manage a warning, I would hope Bitcoin sites could have a disclaimer somewhere...
