Topic: Scammed by Coinbase :/ - page 2. (Read 1356 times)
I've had nothing but good experiences with them. They were the first people I signed up with 4 months ago, and I've never had a problem. Everyone cries "scam" but if you get in contact with them, they honor the transaction and take you off the "risk" list. I think there's just an algorithm lots of folks get caught up in.
I think Coinbase is pretty bad. I had a problem with them before and it took them 6 days to respond to an email. They should really get their support team in shape.
what is coinbase?
The easiest place to buy bitcoins for people in the US, as you can reserve/buy with ACH transfer. But, obviously, they are plagued with complaints that they are cancelling people's reserved bids left and right, which obviously upsets people when bitcoin is rallying to the moon.

Same boat here, guys. I still have faith, though, that Coinbase will make things right. I just imagine they're a bit swamped right now.
You would wire Bitstamp $20,000 from the US?
I have no reason to do that. I'm not buying more coins at these prices, even if we're going to $4000 on this run. But if I had to get $20k on an exchange? Yes. Though, depending on my financial ability to deal with having $20k potentially tied up, I might do it in increments of say $5k or $7k. All I can say is..... stop using Coinbase. Day after day, these "high risk" cancellations pile up. If I had to get $20k in an exchange to buy coins, I'd wire to Bitstamp.

Not much else to do but pray? Lawyers would beg to differ. 
It seems like this becoming a common occurrence with many places these days. These companies are ramping up their due diligence for singing up their customers and dealing with high risk transactions. All I can say is make sure you are properly verified with proper identification and pray for the best! Not much you can do at this point but switch to some other place.
Would've posted this in the scam accusations section but can't cuz im new. But oh well, i hope Olaf sees this and fixes my issue. Though he did reply to one of my 7 emails but totally irrelevant information. Apart from that, coinbase support has been largely ignoring my issue.

Well I got scammed by coinbase as of now. Sent like 7 emails. No response. Level 2. Bank verified. SSN Verified. Bought $6k before when price was pretty stable without a problem. Recently, Bought $20k worth of bitcoins a week ago. Now they're worth around $40k. Got, you guessed it, high risk emails.
What should I do? I tried emailing support but they aren't responding!
