RE: BitConnect added "security questions" -- don't use your answers from other sites! Phishing, perhaps?

Nope, they say they'll return in two days:

I just love throwing money away... :(

phewww glad to hear that

Just checked from wife's laptop (so I didn't try to log in), and they have a new message:


Bitconnect would like to announce that only negative accounts will be suspended
During the latest website issues as reported earlier the accounts that have been found to have no problems will be given access and be activated. Read more

And, the "Read more" link is even more disturbing! https://bitconnect.co/system-news/73/bitconnect-would-like-to-announce-that-only-negative-accounts-will-be-suspended/

It says accounts with "negative amounts" (I guess that's the balance?) will be terminated but doesn't explain how the accounts went negative. Apparently some accounts "benefitted from the glitch" but no idea what happened -- might my account now be negative?

It also says you only have 5 days to fix the negative amount -- and if you don't your account will be permanently terminated and your details will be made public on their site! That seems really crappy, I used the same account name as I did here. What details? Are they sharing passwords as well? Ugh...

Well, I think it's likely to be a ruse, a delaying tactic to allow them to high-tail it outta there...

It's one thing if the site's down, like I saw someone else post a few minutes ago; but the site is up, just, you can't log in. And their description lacks all technical details, "glitch in the website's service", it could mean anything including "we pulled it"...
