Everybody probably already knows this but I was in btc-e and saw an ad . . . not that I would believe what any stranger has to say about the price but I was sick and bored so I decided to look at it for fun. I tried to create an account and the password did not work, I assumed that it was because it had minimum criteria for characters and symbols so I did a more complex password, still did not work. Stupidly, I used my exchange password for this (not sure what I was thinking) and a small time later my account is hacked.
After my account is hacked, I get a text showing that someone has accessed my account. I immediately log in to see I am spamming about bitcoinpredictions.com in the trollbox - causing me to get banned. I try to stop the ban but, obviously, it was no use. The hacker was unable to withdraw funds because I had email confirmation and text verification to my email. However, he added a 2fa to my account so I could not withdraw my own funds. I change my password and contact support. They end up suspending my account completely. Now I am getting an email saying
Good afternoon,
To confirm that you are the real account holder and unban your account it is necessary to send:
- screenshots to the exchange transactions deposits. Wallets screens from which you sent the coin.
The coins came from Poloniex so I sent them a picture of my withdrawal history. Is this what you think they are asking for?
Anyone with experience in this?
If anyone takes the time to read this lengthy post - thanks.
The most important lesson u can get from this is money NEVER falls down from the sky. U went to that website not cause u were bored but cause u wanted to take advantage of bitcoin predictions magic bowl. Sorry for your loss and hope you get your money back. Learn from this.
No I definitely did not give that crystal ball any merit. Thanks anyway.
