I have the Coinbase One Credit Card. Balance has been kept at $0 through consistent payments.
Suddenly my card was locked for suspicious activity, and two payments I had scheduled reversed after that. There were ZERO unauthorized transactions.
The bad part: I call the number on the Coinbase app. The support rep gives me a secondary number to call (already don’t like that, why not just connect me)?
The worst part: I call the number and the rep says he needs to send me an email. The email comes to my JUNK folder (no other Coinbase emails ever do). It asks for a selfie with my government ID. I don’t want to email a photo of my ID from a second-hand phone number request and a spam folder email.
This seems like insanely bad security and support. The card is legitimately locked on the app, but this all seems too fishy.
I was even told if I don’t resolve it this way the account will remain locked. The account I spend a few grand on a month and have 100% on time payments on?
This is legitimately insane, super fishy, and absolutely terrible opsec and service. Is this legit? Didn’t Coinbase get in trouble for having 3rd party support employees leak user data? And now I’m supposed to email them my photo and a photo of my ID? Make it make sense.
