  In this article, we investigate a coupled phantom dark-energy cosmological
model in which the coupling term between a phantom scalar field with an
exponential potential and a pressureless dark-matter fluid is motivated by the
warm inflationary paradigm. Using methods of qualitative analysis of dynamical
systems, complemented by numerical solutions of the evolution equations, we
study the late-time behavior of our model. We show that contrary to the
uncoupled scenario, the coupled phantom model admits accelerated scaling
solutions. However, they do not correspond to a final state of the universe's
evolution and, therefore, cannot be used to solve the cosmological coincidence
problem. Furthermore, we show that, for certain coupling parameter values, the
total equation-of-state parameter's asymptotic behavior is significantly
changed when compared to the uncoupled scenario, allowing for solutions less
phantom even for steeper potentials of the phantom scalar field.
