2 days after ordering some BTC from Coinbase, I just got the following e-mail:

************************

Unfortunately, we have decided to cancel this order because it appears to be high risk. We do not send out any bitcoins on high risk transactions, and you will receive a refund to your bank account in 3-4 business days.

Please understand that we do this to keep the community safe and avoid fraudulent transactions. Apologies if you are one of the good users who gets caught up in this preventative measure - we don't get it right 100% of the time, but we need to be cautious when it comes to preventing fraud.

You may have more luck trying again in a few weeks. Best of luck and thank you for trying Coinbase.

Kind regards,
The Coinbase Team

They give no explanation of what they mean by "high risk." In any case, it seems a bit fraudulent to pick and choose which orders to fulfill and I wonder if it would have seemed so risky had the price fallen to $500 instead of rising a bit from when I made the purchase. I can only blame myself for trying to buy from Coinbase when I had heard of them pulling this crap before. I guess it's back to CampBX.

Greedy bastards! I can't wait for Circle to launch and take those clowns out of business. I've had horrible experience even though I'm level 2 verified!
