Coinbase Blocked 34,389 USDT Transfer and Demanded $5,000–$6,000 Extra Fee

Since July 25, a total of 34,389 USDT was transferred to my Coinbase account by an investment company. However, because Coinbase does not have a branch in Turkey, I tried to transfer my balance to Binance Global. For this transfer, I was asked to pay an extremely high network fee ranging from $5,000–$6,000. Even though I explained that the sender had already paid a 12% network fee, I was still told I needed to pay again, and my transfer was blocked. I spoke with a person named E** from Coinbase Turkey over the phone, but no solution was provided. In addition, this network fee request was communicated to me only via WhatsApp; there is no warning or notice about such a fee on Coinbase’s official app or website. I also cannot make any conversions or transactions with my USDT balance—the funds are completely unusable. My Coinbase account is registered with the email [email protected]. I request that the 34,337 USDT balance in my account be transferred to my chosen account without any additional fees or commissions. I also demand that the grievance I experienced during this process be resolved.
