    Never, ever deal with Blockchain!
    They have put me through the worst imaginable experience for over a year.
    My coins are missing [90% of them], yet, here I am again having to deal with BC robots, time and time again.
    I cannot believe this supposed major Bitcoin exchange is still legally operating?
    I even called the FBI the day my coins went missing, but here I am again today, where I can't even get verified while trying to log in.
    Get this: I did get logged in yesterday and saw this shocker; my birthday was
    even WRONG. And I couldn't even change it to the correct date.

    And yes, I saw what bitcoins I had left. So, this is further proof of what an incompetent place of business BlockChain truly is.

    *Have any members signed with BC and if so, what was your experience?
    **PM me if you prefer?

      You'll never reach them, live. I had to fill out a complaint form and never heard from them?
      Why, who knows?
      I will do it again and also contact the BBB. After these baskets finish.

      And add: I went straight to the BC help screen--as soon as I saw my bitcoins be taken in 3 straight withdrawals--which I had used many times and usually reached some "live" help.
      Nope, this day I get a robot telling me to fill out a form and send it to BC.

          Lucky you.
          But there is no way I am the single victim on BC.

              So far I haven't had an issue either but have yet to withdrawl money to my bank.
              How did you do that and what were the charges?

                It's a process of linking your bank account there.

                Then selling crypto to cash, then withdrawing.

                It's not as intuitive as it should be, but once you get it figured out, smooth as silk

                  And I know we all are aware of the most horrendous amounts of money stolen from many bitcoin accounts. World or nationwide.
                  Some, if I remember, lost 200 to 300 thousand dollars worth. Several more were simply wiped out.
                  And now, dealing with BC for over a year, I have yet to talk to a "live employee?"
                  That will change in 3 weeks!

                  They love to respond in denial texts or their favorite, the Robot.

                  So Brock, you never saw your birthday displayed wrongly? If you did, would you still love this bitcoin site the same? And even be allowed to log in and see your balances with the wrong birthday being displayed, too?

                  Completely unprofessional.

                      coinbase also was reporting to the irs first. Need to be careful with your banks and the volume of activity, if anybody thinks the bank is not reporting blockchain txn’s?
                      Well it’s a real good way to lose your bank accounts, and have fun with that if you use those for scheduled online bill payments

                          Thanks, Stake. I was born naive and stayed that way a decade or two too long.

                            I didn't mention these clowns either, but yes, big problem with them, too.
                            I think they are crooked.

                                          I'm tired of people getting tired of me predicting the future. I am just going to announce it afterwards from now on.

                                            I agree with your first paragraph, but got lost after that.
                                            How bad can you be with a hot girlfriend you show here?
                                            A question: Is that her bare dark bush or just some skimpy bloomers?

                                            If it's her bush, how much will you take to get her off your hands?

                                              How very humble of you. I won't have to see another prediction before it happens.

                                                Yes, you will be as clueless as always. Of course, it did not help anyway. People think they were the ones that thought of it.

                                                    I would have to agree. Never had any issues

                                                      What exactly happened? It doesn’t sound like your account was compromised because you have coins left. When my blockchain account was hacked, they took everything. Support told me to abandon the account and open another one, yeah right. Blockchain is good for convenience, better than average support with poor security of your funds.

                                                        So you are telling me you were also scammed? Or whatever other description you can call it, bottom line, they are gone with the wind and not found as yet?
                                                        And like me, you are so worn out with the lack of help you just want to lie down take another nap and forget about all that pressure of losing all of your bitcoins?

                                                        And yes, 3 months later after that fateful Feb., as I said, 1/10 of the original amount was shown in my account.
                                                        Figure that one out? And don't forget, that original 90% would have been at least worth double if they had not disappeared back in Feb, '21?

                                                          Someone sweet talked a Verizon supervisor into allowing a sim swap on my phone. Having full access to my sms texts they started with my email accounts and proceeded to all of my crypto accounts. Blockchain was first and the only one that was drained of funds. Blockchain did not scam me, it wasn’t their fault, but their support is not something to rely on and they are not of any assistance. There has to be a record of what happened on your account. Were you sending and receiving crypto, trading crypto, exchanging crypto for fiat? Even if someone hacked your account and withdrew it , there would be a record of that. I don’t think blockchain.com are thieves or scammers , their support is simply overwhelmed like every other crypto support staff. If they can’t fix it on the first or second email , you’re screwed. Your description is too vague for anyone to help, you’ll have to provide details, emails and screenshots if you want anyone to take you seriously.

                                                            Thank you, PO. You're first to describe so very close to what happened to me.
                                                            Yes, I was trying to send funds out, and shortly after I failed I was hit with 3 withdrawals about 2 minutes apart.
                                                            And no help from BC, as you describe.

                                                            And yes, I have heard that the withdrawals can be tracked with certain details that were available, but so far, except for one service, I have had no luck and it has/did plum wore me down.
                                                            That service, a professional, supposedly, with charge me an arm and a leg with no guarantees of a profitable return of my bitcoins. Another scenario that just helps to wear you down, too.
                                                            I will get back on the ball in 3 weeks and hope to not lose any more brain matter over the overwhelming tax it does on your whole being?
                                                            PO, I can pm you in 3 weeks?

                                                                  So I suppose I was lucky to even get back into my account, but I did, as I said about 3 months after the bitcoin loss.

                                                                  And believe this: I now have that 1/10 of my original bitcoins? How that happened I do not know but I sure didn't complain about it.
                                                                  And I am seriously thinking about jerking those bitcoins out before more sad news comes from BC.
                                                                  And as I said, I now was rejected from logging in earlier today, and this, after just seeing my balance yesterday?
