How a Dentist Lost $200K in 30 Minutes to a Coinbase Crypto Scam

How do you lose $200,000 to a Coinbase crypto scam in 30 minutes? 

On this episode of the Smarter Online Safety Show, I sit down with Dr. Ed Holliday — "Doc Holliday" — a Mississippi dentist and 8-year crypto investor who was drained on Valentine's Day by one of the most sophisticated social engineering scams I've ever heard.

Doc walks me through every step: how scammers used a fake Google support call, AI-generated emails, and a fake "Coinbase Asset Protection Security Team" to take over his computer, drain his MetaMask, Exodus, Atomic, and Math wallets, and steal his Chainlink, Bitcoin, and Polymath tokens — all in under an hour.

If you own cryptocurrency, use Coinbase, or know anyone who dabbles in crypto, please watch and share. We cover the exact red flags, the fight-or-flight psychology scammers weaponize, and the simple rules that would have saved him $200K.
