Let me begin by saying NEVER GO TO BITCOINPREDICTIONS.COM HE IS A HACKER STEALING YOUR INFORMATION
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.

Second rule of internet surfing is, do not click any advertisements.

Third rule of internet surfing is, make money from advertisements but do not click em.

Well I am sorry for you ,it seems you have been hacked, hacker stole all of your identity there, change their email and everything. Lesson to be learned, in any site in which you intend to be a long term user, if the site offers 2FA , you have to enable it since the beginning, this drastically lows your chances of getting hacked. Make sure when adding 2FA your PC is clean as the hacker can have that one time key if he have put a keylogger into your PC, so there is risk too with 2FA but only when you are adding it on a compromized computer. Hope this helps you in your future use of exchanges.

there are 2 lessons to this story..

1, NEVER click on advertisements and use a real password to log in.
2, ALWAYS have 2fa enabled when available.. this would have prevented someone stealing your password and being able to log in.
