Coinbase - Verify Your Identity.... wtf??

[Dafar]

Anyone else tried to get Level 2 verification on coinbase and having problems? When I do the verify my identity feature, it asks me a bunch of random questions and I already failed twice! It asks me which one of these random numbers are related to me, or who among these random people do I know... WTF? I don't recognize any of those answer choices! Is there any way I can find out where the hell these questions and answer choices are coming from?

I really want to buy more bitcoins... but I cannot wait 30 days for my first transaction to completely... I will most likely miss out on all the gains by then, in 30 days the price may go up a lot higher.


Should I open an account somewhere else and buy from multiple places? Anyone else doing this? What's another secure, simple and trusted place and a good place to buy bitcoins from USA other than coinbase?

Thanks

The questions are based on the credit history for the SSN you entered on the previous page.
A lot of them will not relate to you and so you choose the None of the Above answer.
Most of them should be simple as they relate to past addresses, phone numbers, cities/streets etc you may have lived on.

Anything that might have been reported to a credit agency is fair game to be asked

Same issue here... one of the question they asked was, `which of the following streets was located nearby to your previous address?` and I didn`t recognize any of them! And there was no `none of the above` answer that time around. I even pulled out a map and couldn`t find any of the streets given, so they could have pulled that one out of their asses for all I know. No choice but to try again in 24 hours.

Yeah some of the answer choices don't apply to me at all, and I pick none of the above and fail the verification...

Are you guys using multiple exhanges? What else do you recommend for US buyers besides coinbase

If you are having trouble answering the questions, it's possible there is erroneous information on your credit reports. I'd suggest going to www.annualcreditreport.com (it's the legit federally backed site) and grab each of your credit reports. That will provide you with any/all information that coinbase could ask about as well as show you if there is any wrong information being kept.

I had to do this as well because I moved a lot while in the military and couldn't remember some of my old addresses which coinbase asked about.
