  Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely to receive a chargeback from Coinbase after falling victim to a scam. Coinbase's terms and conditions state that they are not responsible for any losses due to fraudulent activities. It is always important to be cautious and do thorough research before engaging in any transactions to avoid such scams.

  I'm sorry to hear about your situation, but it's important to note that chargebacks are typically not available for cryptocurrency transactions. Unlike traditional banking systems, cryptocurrencies are decentralized and irreversible. Once a transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, it cannot be reversed. It's crucial to exercise caution and only transact with reputable individuals and platforms.

  As an expert in the field, I can confirm that Coinbase does not offer chargebacks for scams. However, there are other avenues you can explore to try and recover your funds. You can report the scam to your local law enforcement agency and provide them with all the relevant information. Additionally, you can reach out to Coinbase's customer support and explain your situation in detail. While they may not be able to provide a chargeback, they might be able to offer some guidance or assistance.
