Weird phone call from Binance
I just received a phone call from Binance's "cybersecurity" department. The guy knew my first and last name and my phone number.
Of course, I know that Binance and other platforms NEVER call, but the fact that he had all this information unsettled me, and I wanted to get to the bottom of it. I remained calm and kept my answers very short, just in case an AI program wanted to recreate my voice later (I'm getting paranoid, but whatever).
He informed me that an alert had been received regarding an unauthorized connection from Berlin and asked if I was from that city. He also asked if I connected to public Wi-Fi or shared devices with family members. He mentioned that an email address not linked to mine had been associated with my account and asked if it was mine. Furthermore, he questioned me about owning a phone model that I don't have. I answered no to all those questions.
He said he was going to delete that information and asked if I could log into my account right away, to which I replied no. I added that I didn't really care, since there was no money in that Binance account. He said he was going to file a report or something anyway, and then said goodbye.
I immediately changed my Binance password and made sure 2FA (two-factor authentication) was enabled.
Anyway, this call seemed pointless for a scam. I don't know if I discouraged him because I couldn't access my account and there was no money in it, but I find it very suspicious.
