Yes, I would say that the notification was from legitimate freebitco.in site, all of my amounts were according to the actual status, the multiply rolls were increasing and decreasing as normal, and the site was refreshed every 1 hour as is normally doing when the timer expires. Everything seemed very legitimate, with the note that this message was there for several days (I would say around 3 or 4 days) and it seemed like the site is legitimate, also, i had the same message also on my mobile app.
I checked in my history stats, my the last deposit and withdrawal to the old address was on 31st March. after that I guess on 1st or 2nd of April was received the notification, and several hours after my unsuccessful deposit to the new P2SH address, the notification was removed and the old address is now showing again.
That's so strange and I don't know why FreeBitco.in would do such a thing. I'm not saying you're not telling the truth, but it seems like something else could be at stake here. You mentioned the notification looked genuine, everything seemed to function normally, and it even appeared on your mobile app. And the notification vanished after your unsuccessful deposit attempt to the new P2SH address, and the old address reappeared. That timing is awfully suspicious and that's concerning if it was a fake.
Also, there don't seem to be any other reports from other users, except for you two.
As I said before, I was active on the site at that time and did not see any notification and my FreeBitco.in deposit address did not change during that period. Only when I requested a new deposit address, the system generated a new address, but it is still a legacy address, and all old, previously generated deposit addresses should work as before.
I appreciate the commentary but there is nothing else at stake here, the btc has gone to freebitco.ins wallets and is following a similar pattern when consolidating. Here is the other user that was mentioning the same issue
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.63874969A simple google or forum search could have found. That quire easy.
I've been using the site daily for a while I only access it from a direct link. No where else or an email when I do a free spin which I could tell if it wasn't my account as my referrals wouldn't add up, my facet amount would be wrong or even my reward points which I use daily wouldn't be right.
I'm unable to generate a deposit address myself now if I click new one at present. I've deposited successfully onto my old address after the new one didn't work to test it.
While i understand your trying to help its not actually helping as it is almost dismissing our issues here which might put the priority on it lower, there's 3 users here in this forum affected that means there's more than just us.
Anyway I'll away for this to be fixed, I just hope it's not 8 months....
Initially I had thought of this possibility, especially after I saw that this notification is removed and that the deposit address was returned back to the old deposit address (not immediately, but after several hours). However, I do not believe it is the case of a scam, but rather Freebitco.in doing some work and making a rollback.
I agree with ID482015, and I conclude that this was not a phishing site, since I always open the webpage directly, not via some links, and my wallet status and reward points were correct (~80k) when i logged in. And just before my deposit, I had lost a few bigger bets, and those reward points showed up in my new status (~85k). Even today, they are still showing as my current reward points (i.e. FBC have increased by the adequate amount and are updated in FBCs database). I had used the exact same open webpage to make the deposit to the new address, so I am 100% sure that the site was genuine freebitco.in (otherwise, the reward points would not have increased). Also, it happened to more of us, not just a single isolated case. (at least 3 on this forum alone; in reality probably much more that are probably still waiting for FAQ or support's answer)
So, I would dismiss this possibility, and focus on the efforts of TheQuin to make a prompt rectification, since these are surely FBC wallet addresses, and they can easily check the TX IDs and verify how much has been transferred to them vs. how much has been credited to us.
Regarding malware, i ran a full computer scan both for viruses and malware, and no issues are found.
Regarding new deposit address, i tried both in the browser and on the mobile app, nothing happens when i click on the "new deposit address" button, so it is not an issue with my browser, it is just the FBC's application (I guess they have disabled the generate new address function).
