Fraudulent activity by a TMobile employee switching my SIM # to a new device to steal funds
Hello, Sorry for the long post to follow. Here is what happened to me recently. On Sunday 1/19/2020 around 2:30pm, I noticed that I lost T-Mobile network connection. Everybody around me, in...
Gosh, that's a nightmare of a situation especially considering you may not be able to get those funds back from coinbase. I know that with every day passing you need more answers.

Hola K-T,
Sorry it happened to you too. I tracked the IP down and mine was from Toronto Canada. I'm sure they used a VPN to reroute and hide their IP though. The case is still open with my bank. They temporarily credited my account the $2500 I lost but have not made a final determination yet. As for the money I lost from coinbase, coinbase told me I was out of luck, that they did not get hacked so the money would not be insured. I hope you didn't lose too much from coinbase.
I spoke to some FBI cybercrime office and the guy told me straight forward that nobody would do anything unless I lost thousands of dollars.
Luckily I kept most of my crypot assets elswhere and only lost a few hundreds from coinbase. T-Mobile eventually covered that lost for me.
