Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to withdraw {$2000.00} from my Coinbase account into my XXXX Savings account, but I did not receive the funds. After analyzing the transaction history, I realized that it was sent to a different XXXX XXXX account. As I continued to look at my linked bank accounts on my Coinbase account, I noticed there were 2 different XXXX savings accounts linked to my Coinbase account. This is a problem because I only remember linking 1 XXXX savings account. Because of this, I believe my Coinbase account must have been hacked and this extra XXXX savings account was added without my authorization or knowledge. Since I only added XXXX XXXX savings account to my Coinbase account, I must have selected the unauthorized and unknown XXXX savings account for the XXXX transaction because both accounts were labelled " XXXX Savings ''. I have no idea or no knowledge of how this unauthorized XXXX savings account showed up on my Coinbase account. In addition to this, I've only had one XXXX savings account and XXXX XXXX checking account in my lifetime. This can be verified through XXXX if you wish to contact them. I have tried to resolve this issue with Coinbase and attempted to get my money into the correct account, but they informed me that they can not do anything about it because I was the one who authorized the ADDITIONAL XXXX savings account, therefore it was my fault. This does not make sense because there is no other way for me to have known the full account number of a whole different XXXX savings account if I only had XXXX XXXX savings account to begin with. I also contacted XXXX to see if they would be able to track where the money went, and they did confirm that it was sent to someone else, but they could not do anything about it either. I have a picture of the {$2000.00} transaction that was sent to the WRONG and UNAUTHORIZED XXXX savings account that was somehow added to my account. I also have a picture with the email I received from Coinbase who claimed they could not help me ( with a case number ). And I also have another picture of another transaction on XX/XX/XXXX where I was able to successfully withdraw {$110.00} to the CORRECT XXXX savings account. Again, this can all be verified with XXXX that I have never had 2 XXXX savings account. If you need any other documents to help support my claim, please let me know and thank you for your time.
