RE: If you have a Coinbase account: BEWARE because you could lose everything you own, just like I did (help me spread the word fellow steemians!)

in #bitcoin8 years ago

Hello My friend, Sorry to hear what happened to you. First thing you should do is keep calm, don't panic. I went through same sort of issue but received my coins back.
Ok the first thing is contact coinbase support , Open a case with support. Their support is a nightmare but eventually they will reply, if you account was really hacked then you will receive your coins back. Coinbase is a regulated company, it's on their TOS too.
I wish you best of luck. :)

Sort:  

yes they are, that's why I had trust in them, but you can clearly see from their article - https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/1662379-how-is-coinbase-insured-
"This insurance policy does not cover any losses resulting from the compromise of your individual Coinbase account. It is your responsibility to use a strong password and maintain control of all login credentials you use to access Coinbase ".
STILL, I think support tickets, open case and not giving up is the way to go and a grain of hope. You don't have anything (more) to lose.
