What to watch

1. Watch for unsolicited phone calls or messages claiming to be from CoinMarketCap, because the company states it never calls users and has no phone number. Analyst inference
2. Watch for any communication that provides a phone number for CoinMarketCap verification, as the warning confirms the platform does not have a phone number. Analyst inference
3. Watch for users who skip contacting official CMC Customer Service for verification, since the notice advises always using that channel to confirm authenticity. Analyst inference
