Re: COINBASE RIPPED ME OFF $80k. *WARNING WARNING WARNING*

Coinbase purchase times are growing. I first purchased 6 BTCs on 11/14/13 and was credited on 11/21/13 (7 days). I purchased 10 BTCs on 11/23/13 and now I find out it will take 9 days (11/2/13) to get credit.

I am now going to a local bitcoin dealer for purchases which only take 20 minutes.

would you please let us know how this turned out?
thx

Flawlessly. However, I first went through this local dealer before I was able to get validated through Coinbase. The advantage Coinbase has over local dealers is the transaction amount. You can request 50 btc withdrawals per day and you can deposit 10 btc per day for the first month and 50 btc per day after that. My local dealer has a $2500/day limit.

I have also gone through localbitcoins.com and deposited to bank accounts and was credited almost immediately. That web site has a escrow service so you're not going to have someone just walk off with your bank deposit.

Take your localbitcoin deal elsewhere into another thread and stop jacking my thread. This is the scam accusations for christ's sake. You wanna tell other people how good your Coinbase or local deal went, then go ahead and post elsewhere. Thank you.

Hey guys. So I've yet again been duped 50 BTC from coinbase through a high risk transaction cancelled. I've tried emailing, redditing, bitcointalking, facebooking, twittering, and phone calling them and Coinbase hasn't returned any response yet. It's been 3 weeks btw (and i pretended to be someone else during those 3 weeks and got a response the very next day). Can you guys help me get his attention? Man, I can't reach AT ALL cuz he's ignoring me. So pissed off.

If in the end the last option to be able to reach them is via physical mail,





then there is a problem.

Yea....no. It's a contract. I did lose money. And nope. As much as I want to do all that you said, I already did all that. I'm not possibly going to do more as I've spent too much of my time into this. I'm still going to wait. But I'm taking legal action as soon as the California Attorney General responds back.

Alright. So I'm all out of communication options. What do I do now? Wait? LOL. You waited 2 days. All over 2 BTC. I already waited 3 weeks. Over 100 BTC. You REALLY think they'll still honor their side of the deal? Personally I doubt it.

Yea I heard that argument as well Stake. Well, it's been 3 weeks not one single form of reply. So I was like. Ok. They're busy. So I pretended to be another person, and emailed them about another issue, and I got a response the next day. LOL.

Yea I knew someone would bring out that point. There's no need to block me. Just don't respond to me. I didn't even friggen talk to them.

and also, it's not my fault that I called them with something that doesn't have anything to do with merchant. I EMAILED them like 12 times and not one single response. What am suppose to do? Sit around? I mean good grief, they only have 10 people in the company so if you call that merchant number, you're essentially contacting HQ. lmao. That's how small they are.

COINBASE RIPPED ME OFF $80k. *WARNING WARNING WARNING*

I'm level 2 verified member. Done transactions in the thousands with them. 3 weeks ago I bought around 100 BTC at $200 each. The price has since skyrocketed then. Well you guessed it, a week after I bought 100 BTC, they high risk'ed me. Been 3 week already and 12 emails to them, 10 reddit messages to Olaf and Brian Armstrong (their CEO), 10 tweets, and 5 facebook posts on their facebook fan page and still, NO RESPONSE. I'm tired of this and I just want to let people know, you can get very nice service from Coinbase and all that, but yet on the other hand, they scam too. You can be legitimate, and use that legitimacy to hide something dark dark dark beneath. This is just a warning for all that are considering using Coinbase. If I get scammed, there is a possibility you may too.

And Olaf, if you see this, you know who I am. I want you to make this right with me. Make the right decision and honor your side of the deal. Otherwise, this thread will stick around and haunt you.

I really do hope that coinbase honor the deal without any other external forces to force them to. :/ I have faith they will but it's been 2 weeks, and now that faith has gone to nothing....

Right I read it line by line. here's the line that you want to know:

"3.1 Coinbase may cancel or reverse potentially high-risk buys or sells of bitcoin, including those made using reversible payment methods."

However by no means was my order high-risk. I've abided by everything. Level 2. Gave them every info they want. Did transactions amounting to the thousands before with no problem. So yeah..... :/

Yea about that. If anything good happens to you, definitely let me know. However, my faith in them as went from 100% to 0% after going 2 weeks with no one responding to me. Definitely let me know if there are any major breakthroughs in your case, I'll let everyone knows same with my case.

@almostmike Wanna band together to do something about it? I'm taking this to court as a last final option.

@trumbadera That's true. And if they actually admit that they cancelled my order not because it was actually high risk but because they the price shot up and the aren't able to buy and make profit, then they are in big big trouble.

@marcotheminer I will man. After I hit 4 hrs i'm posting this in the scam accusations section. Thanks!
