As mentioned I wasn't spending or having BTC sent to me from anybody but MYSELF! I invested 1-2 months ago and just rode it.
You seem to have a problem with me and others clearly stating these scammers are pulling the same crap as Paypal? Well, why not tell us the legal avenue to take and get justice? While you are at it, let us know the how to contact Coinrape to get a response.
Here is the direct email from Coinrape and then what appears on the site where all you can do is dump your money to another wallet and NOT cash out:
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Coinbase. Our primary goal is to make digital currency safe and secure for our customers. Coinbase is a regulated Money Services Business under FinCEN (FinCEN.gov), and as part of achieving this goal, we are legally obligated to implement regulatory compliance mechanisms.
Upon careful review, we believe your account has engaged in prohibited use in violation of our Terms of Service and we regret to inform you that we can no longer provide you with access to our service. We respectfully request that you follow the on-screen instructions presented when you log into your Coinbase account to send any remaining balance offsite to an external address.
Should you have any questions or need assistance, please let us know and we'll be happy to help.
Respectfully,
Coinbase Customer Support
What appears when I then logged in at coinrape.com and let me know where I missed that I could cash out:
Unfortunately we have had to close your Coinbase account. Before your account can be closed, you will need to withdraw your funds to an external wallet and any other funds to an attached bank account. Please be sure to delete any references to digital currency addresses generated by Coinbase, as funds sent to those addresses will not be retrievable once the account is closed. If you have any questions you may contact us at
[email protected].
BTW, that page right above is ALL you get and all your transactions/history are NOT VIEWABLE so if you don't know what you had in there you are screwed and they can give you whatever they feel like which they did. Hell, even scumbag payscum didn't pull that crap and you could log in to see your transaction history which I can still do on an account which was closed YEARS ago. Coinrape blocks you out so even if there was a legal recourse you would have NO PROOF as they evidence is gone which is exactly what they pulled in never completing the 1btc transfer from blockchain worth $1700.
BTW, btc addresses ARE traceable as there was recently a large case by the US gov to arrest some hackers who were holding government offices for ransom and wouldn't allow access to information unless btc was paid. Btc was paid and they followed the money and several 'hackers' went down.
Lastly, this is right from their site and while being attached to your checking or CC IS regulated, digital currency is NOT unless you are in a regulated state. They aren't regulated by anything or anybody so they are free to rip people off as we are seeing.
