Other transaction problem

Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service: Virtual currency



Complaint: Hello, On XX/XX/19 I responded to a XXXX ad from someone selling XXXX tickets. The person told me the only way he would sell these to me was if I purchased XXXX through the company Coinbase. I made a transaction via Coinbase by purchasing {$280.00} in XXXX onXX/XX/19. After giving the individual from XXXX my personal information and attempting to give him my {$280.00} it XXXX, the transaction never processed. Ultimately, it turned out the person selling the tickets was a scammer. From this point on all I wanted was my {$280.00} transaction from the Coinbase.com website reversed. After several attempts at trying to access my Coinbase account and contacting customer service via Email, I finally heard back from them on XX/XX/19. After several messages exchanged with Coinbase.com they were not able to provide me with a solution. Instead, they decided to lock my account on XX/XX/19. I never asked them to lock my account. I tried contacting them via phone several times but it was impossible to speak with a live representative and every time I asked them in several email messages they never provided me a way to speak with someone on the phone to resolve this. Eventually, on XX/XX/19, I was able to log back into my Coinbase account and on XX/XX/19 they provided me with me access and the steps to withdraw my money. It turns out during this whole time, the value of my Coinbase account had decreased and I was only able to withdraw {$180.00}. During all of the email exchanges and unnecessary steps, nobody mentioned to me that the value was decreasing until the final email message on XX/XX/XXXX. I responded back addressing these concerns and asked to speak with a manager on the phone but Coinbcased has stopped responding to my messages all together.
