I just got a call from my bank. Coinbase is trying to withdraw money from my checking account when I have NOT made  a purchase and I have NOT authorized it to do so. The only reason why my bank called me is because, according tot he lady that called me, "we're having a ton of problems with coinbase attempting to withdraw money from our customer accounts so we have been instructed to call and verify EVERY withdrawal attempt from coinbase with the customer before allowing anything."

My wallet SEEMS intact and I see all my coins (I suppose that doesn't actually mean I still have them right?) but it's rather disturbing that coinbase is trying to take money from me when I have not purchased anything as of late. I checked my coinbase account (changed the pw) and do NOT see any pending transactions.

It seems coinbase has been compromised.

I've emailed support since coinbase does not have a freakin' phone number and aslso pm'd Olaf (coinbase).

Anyone else with coinbase having similar issues?

Hopefully, it's ok to discuss this in this subforum.

Also, any advice on recommended next steps would be appreciated. TIA
