Consumer Complaint: I have money invested with Coinbase. I now wish to withdraw my funds from my EUR Wallet and GBP Wallet. I have set up my XXXX bank account with Coinbase as requested. I have deposited XXXX Euros as requested ( on two occasions now ) which is part of Coinbase 's verification process. The money is showing as received in my Coinbase EUR Wallet and my EUR Wallet account has been credited. No when I click on the withdraw button the software directs me to the account verification page and requested that I deposit yet more money into the Coinbase EUR account so my XXXX bank account can be verified. I have emailed Coinbase, tried calling them and followed all on-line help available from Coinbase but can not get my money back. I am now starting to think Coinbase are either scammers or are having financial difficulties.

Consumer Complaint: I used to work with coinbase to buy bitcoins and till now everything worked fine. 1-2 weeks ago when bitcoin price crashed a bit i wanted to buy some bitcoins fast. so like every time i logged in and ordered some bitcoins. after the purchase i was asked to verify to speed things up else they would hold the coins for 3 days. Which was strange because i already was verified! i tried to verify again ( they asked for driver license ) but on the mobile it did not work and on my pc i have no webcam.. after some tries i got a error message and was logged out. Now i cant login because my account got locked. i already tried to contact their support of course but on phone i gave up cause no one i answered for over 30 minutes and via email i got an automated email they are " looking '' at it.. i ordered the bitcoins ( worth XXXX ) on XXXX 2017 and so i got not a single response till now! i just want my account to be unlocked and send the bitcoins to my wallet..

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I wire transfer {$25000.00} from my XXXX XXXX XXXX account into XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX has acknowledged that they have accepted wire and they have also confirmed with me that they received the wire and have sent the funds in the amount of {$25000.00} to Coinbase. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Coinbase and spoke to a representative. Representative had no clue about a wire transfer and advised that the only way to escalate this matter was to email them at XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, I emailed Wire Support ( XXXX ) and so far I have not received a response back. Their website indicates same-day delivery if funds are wire transfered by XXXX, which my funds were wire transfered at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I would not panic if they would respond to my emails, but after reading online threads I feel very terrified that they been doing this to a lot of people.

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX ( 17 days ago ) I wired {$6300.00} from my personal bank account and it still has not been depositted into my USD wallet. I opened a support ticket ( # XXXX ) two days after sending the funds ( on XX/XX/XXXX ) but I have yet to receive any useful information about my transfer. I have left numerous requests for update on the ticket and with no response. I have called the support number twice and spoken to two different reps after 20+ minute wait times. Both reps told me that they can not access this information but they will escalate the ticket to a specialist and I would be contacted back. Coincidentally, both calls ended with them hanging up on me followed by a response to my ticket stating " Sorry, we got disconnected ''. After the last call on XX/XX/XXXX, my ticket was marked as closed even though they did n't give me my money. I immediately reopened the ticket asking why it was marked as closed but I have n't received a response in 3 days now. Also, on XX/XX/XXXX I went back to my bank to make sure they did n't mess this up on their end. They ensured me that the money was successfully deposited into Coinbase 's bank account. They gave me the confirmation number which I included in my ticket. Attached to this complaint is proof of my wire transfer provided by my bank and the full transcript of my communication with Coinbase support via my open ticket.
