First question I would ask is, are you at least 18 years old with full ID, SSN verification? Have you ever gambled cryptocurrency coins before, and then sent those coins to your account?
Yes, I am > 18 yo, with full ID, with SSN. I am the owner with coinbase connected to my US bank account.
These are the emails that they sent me, since January 24:

Hi there,
It looks like these funds were reclaimed from your account by Coinbase after your bank reversed one of the recent charges for your purchase. There does not appear to have been any unauthorized activity on your account.
• Therefore, as authorized in the User Agreement, we deducted AMOUNT from your funds held on-site. You can read the User Agreement at
https://www.coinbase.com/legal/user_agreement.
I hope this clears up the confusion. If you are unsure about the reason your bank reversed the charge, please contact them for further explanation and to find out what is needed to avoid this situation in the future.
Thank you for contacting Coinbase Support.

Hello,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have put a hold on your account’s ability to login for the time being until you are certain that your account is secure. No new outgoing transactions will be possible while the account is disabled, but pending transactions cannot be stopped due to the irrevocable nature of digital currency transactions.

Hello,
Thank you for submitting your request. Due to increased volume it may take several days to receive a response.
These are emails sent after each phone calls. No one has reached out to me to date. I think 15 days with "escalations" from their part is too long. Hence, I am just wondering if someone else has experienced this with Coinbase, and what was done to resolve it quickly if it was even resolved? It is very unfair to have no access to my own account because the support team couldn't do anything about it. I don't even know who to call as they don't give any other number. They say "wait and they will get back to you". At this point, I don't know "how long" will they get back to me. It has been days.
