Update: I tried to contact support to see what was the best way to send them the documents they needed for unblocking my account. This was their response:
Thank you for your interest in Coinbase. Our primary goal is to make our platform safe and secure for our customers. Coinbase is a regulated Money Services Business under FinCEN (FinCEN.gov), and as part of our responsibility, we are legally obligated to implement regulatory compliance mechanisms.
We regret to inform you that we are no longer able to support your Coinbase account as well as any other accounts you may have created. Please note, we have not blocked access to the balance currently in your Coinbase account; while we can no longer process brokerage orders via our banking relationship, you may still send your balance offsite to an external address.
Please be careful when dealing with this company, and remember that even if you're in the US there are many alternatives (LocalBitcoins, Circle and Gemini come to mind).
- dmix 10y agoThere has to be more to this story, no? Or are you saying it was just random? What country do you live in?
- fbuilesv 10y agoI don't think it was random, I happen to have a Colombian passport and I use VPN's on a regular basis. These two don't go well together as you can imagine. I live between various countries (none of them embargoed by the US, which AFAIK are the only ones excluded from Coinbase) but I have a US company and a passport with those shiny stamps that could clear any doubts about me sneaking through "El Hueco". I was not given a chance to show them however, so I'm just glad I don't use them regularly. I'm sorry I don't have a great mistery story behind this :P
