Customer Reviews
Lost my coins on coinbase In 2020 during my teen age, i was so obsessed with knowing more about crypto and the Blockchain. I used various wallets to store my coin and Coinbase was part of them, I stacked up lots of coin the BTC, ltc, Doge, xrp, zcash, Ape, Bitcoin cash and so many other coins including lots of Shiba Inu But things change when i received an email from Coinbase (verified) stating about closing accounts or something like that. But at that time I was so caught up with schooling activities so I disregard the email The email came couple of times as a reminder of closing accounts giving a due date but I was ignorant of what was going on. My issue now is o can't login anymore my account seems not to exist anymore, they said they uses my coins for Liquidity it Hurt me really bad, I can't even write every thing here because it'll be a long text
