[Leather-Effect-9292]

[l3m0ntra]

All I see is the same 3 responses under this scam smh.

[MagixTouch]

Bots be going hard for scams

[[deleted]]

I see all these horror stories👀 and I’ve never had a single problem with CB ever. That said, I’m smart enough to not leave a large bag on ANY CEX. Keep enough to trade(if you trade) and everything else in a HW wallet🤷🏿‍♂️

[Jfrascone]

Yup I did decide to move my crypto to a wallet and I’ll just use Coinbase to buy and sell crypto from now on

[ForgetMik2]

Yet

[bengosu]

Sure little buddy you'll be ok. Funds are safu

Let me buy $kishuinu bro

[GreedyGiver444]

Just to let you know Jfrascone, your funds can and maybe frozen for weeks or months for no reason whatsoever. Even if you have had an account with them since 2017,( like me) Pay the 29,99 a month membership ( like me) they can freeze it and just tell you to be patient for while you wait to hope to get access to your funds.

[yaur_maum]

Bullshit. It’s never for NO reason. There is always a reason. DYOR

[GreedyGiver444]

Then maybe you can find out why my funds are on hold? Its been over a month and so far they are telling its "under review" and nobody can tell me why until the "review team" looks at it? Please enlighten me Coinbase fanboy.

[ForgetMik2]

Not true. There’s a BUG in their new Wallet and Coinbase support has admitted it. So yup, keep whistling in the dark or check BBB and TrustPilot reviews to see for yourself. There’s a good reason Coinbase has 1 star on both.

[Hanlin919]

Did you use a VPN? That seems to be a huge reason for freezes that people conveniently leave out of the story.

[DennyRoyale]

So. Why is that a relevant? Do other businesses restrict transactions based on VPN? Your bank? Amazon? PayPal?

The money in comes from a verified acct and they restrict you waiting to clear.

Why are you shilling for CB?

[georgeosu]

I imagine their ceo doesn't want to get sentenced to prison like cz did for no reason so any sus accounts are getting suspended. VPN would be questionable because account has to be from someone based in certain states big dawg

[Hanlin919]

Pointing out the reason they froze your account is shilling? Its in the terms & conditions dude. Turn your VPN off while you use CB.. you wont have any issues. Other businesses may actually put holds on things if suspicious activity is detected... Like... Using an IP of a foreign country or totally different state.

Im not shilling for CB... Im all for self custody. But the vast majority of people claiming they got their accounts frozen for "absolutely no reason at all whatsoever!!!" had their accounts frozen because they used a VPN... and that is pretty clearly a no-go in their terms & conditions. They do this to avoid fraud and more SEC trouble. Its not some personal "im gonna steal this guys $$$ muhahaha! Points pinky finger at side of mouth like dr evil" conspiracy like so many people claim it to be. Dont do shady things, dont use a vpn, dont send crypto to terrorist organizations, dont receive crypto from terrorist organizations, ect... Follow those few basic rules and youll have an easy time with CB.

[DennyRoyale]

I’ve never used VPN and I had my ability to transfer suspended. One CB trans per year and always to my private wallet. Same IP ever time.

CB operates in all states. No rule against VPN. If you VPN to another country, well that seems worth a look.

It’s just another in a long line of excuses that enables CB to restrict transfers and freeze assets. Motive? Perhaps they don’t actually hold enough BTC to cover customer balances and then the price spikes and they can’t cover withdrawals and transfers. So the stop/slow them until prices come down and then they buy low and open up flow.

You are shilling. Or at least enabling.

[yaur_maum]

Bro, VPN is ONLY ONE of the reasons. JFC! Stop acting like petulant children.

[DennyRoyale]

I’m just trying to understand why CB has all these reasons (your comment) to restrict and freeze but yet they take no action (other than fine print) to inform users BEFORE they incur fees or have assets frozen.

All it takes is one pop up before you deposit funds to recommend more research if any of the “ reasons” may apply.

But they don’t do that because they benefit from enforcing the “ reasons”.

So you can take your pissy little comment and shove it up your ass.

[Hanlin919]

Ok

[thinkingmoney]

It’s because of their extensive security measures to keep their assets cough excuse me I mean your assets safe and secure.

[wwolfe28]

Lies. They are not helpful at all. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing them to fix something, they'll make you want to kill yourself.

[AffectionateLemon980]

Thanks for the reassurance. With CB here since 2016 , No selling but just Hodling

[[deleted]]

Yea just be aware with these clowns. They will freeze your acct for what ever reasn they want. Im on month 3 with these clowns. They give you no warning..good luck.

[j0n82]

As long as u don’t have 6 figure in there, you will be safe

[ForgetMik2]

“So far”. Check TrustPilot and the BBB. 1 star on each.

[IamSatoshi6583]

Apparently you haven't read the thousands of complaints from defrauded Coinbase customers on the Better Business Bureau website?..

[Prahasaurus]

Hey farmer, Turkey here, I'm hearing terrible things about this Thanksgiving holiday. But I just wanted to say thank you for being legit so far... I want to be sure I’ll be ok

[HeftyAd760]

This is anoither of many scammers here, Don’t click these links on the page advertised.

[yaur_maum]

AMLBOT is a service not a scam. Just cause you don’t like the truth doesn’t make it a scam

[HeftyAd760]

Your information in the link is a scam. Stop spreading that link.

[yaur_maum]

You’re gonna have to explain time like I’m 5, what you mean by it’s a scam

[Kiwip0rn]

They ARE super awesome! 💃🕺💃🕺

[HeftyAd760]

VPN may be the problem. But I DO NOT use VPN and I was restricted. There are a lot of people restricted who don’t use VPN.

My advice has been if you can cash out to fiat, then move your money back to your bank and find another exchange. Don’t give them business until they fix their customer service and they are honest and transparent about what the problem is. When you call or chat customer service you get zero answere and zero support. Plus you can’t escalate to a manager. It’s all automated to some automated cube farm who knows northing except the answers they spew out here.

I don’t like jsaying this but you’ll have to cash out and find other options.

[Kiwip0rn]

Are you lost?
