Yes. I was convinced to invest in Bitcoin through some site called CoinBase.Com. Putting money in was easy, but when it came time to take money out, they said I had to apply for a "CoinBase Visa Card" and they would transfer it as a cash advance (taking a 17% fee, of course.)
Avoid these scams.
- gumby 4y agoWow, 17%! At least it's slightly better than Coinbase's VCs like a16z who soaked their customers for at least 22%! And the VCs get a tax break on on that, unlike Coinbase, as 2% is "expenses" and the other 20% is carry.
- rufus_foreman 4y agoSimilar situation here. I was tricked into opening a Coinbase account. I was able to pull some of my money out, but some of it is in "Bitcoin SV". Coinbase won't let me sell it and it won't let me transfer it. They are telling me I need to install some sketchy app and give them more personal information before I can transfer the funds, but at this point I want nothing further to do with them, I just consider it money that I have lost to a scam.
