I see they are starting to communicate again
No, "they" are not. Unless you count unfulfilled promises ("withdrawals will be processed in 48 hours") or unannounced changes (37 MHS removed from accounts) as "communication".

I see they are starting to communicate again which is kind of a good sign I guess but, I'm still waiting to recover my account. I really need to get into it since I have been locked out of it.
This assumes scamtos IS indeed located in Brazil.
Indeed. He always seemed a little too American to me. His trollbox story was that his parents had worked in the U.S. and he had been brought up there, which would explain his seemingly perfect American English. He did use Portuguese as fluently so there might be truth to that. But I doubt it about as much as that liver transplant thing and other tales of his. Great conman to be able to hold up a consistent act for over a year but as soon as the audience started ballooning what 4-5 months ago it became much more difficult. And it soon began to fall apart gradually. I suspect that it,s an organized crime thing so much about it smells like the mobs,s penny stock scams. If so, he is probably long gone and some other soldier is left to wind it up. The mob out of Miami is my bet.

I do have a business friend who lives in Portugal but speaks very near perfect Portuguese, English, and SPanish and does a lot of business in Brazil.
I hadn't thought about the Scamtos connection to America or similar.
But yes you are right, fucking good conman. Conman out of our fucking $$$
Well, he did talk a lot about Florida. And seemed to plan on moving there after hitting the big with the mining, Mac franchise, the friggin cow farm which are the enterprises I remember him mentioning. Quite the businessman, we ate it all out of his palm there in the trollbox. Yeah, I think he,s American or hired and trained by Americans. Americans are of course best (and worst) at pretty much everything, confidence games certainly included.
I registered there last November but soon forgot about it. Didn,t like the price, payout stank, trollbox morale seemed low. Then last April I needed to park a few bitcoins earned from a few scams which fortunately gave up the ghost after I got in the black. So for some reason this thing turned up. Believe me, I bought the story hook line and sinker. But still I stuck to the usual MO, just put in what would constitute an inconsequential loss.
It went swimmingly well at first, I was reinvesting like crazy at 1.5% or more per day which compounded very handsomely and the cost average per khs dropped fast. After two months or so I could have cashed out at roi plus 20% but no I had to have more. Even though the next cluster€$#@ seemed just a matter of time. And so it went. I had plenty of opportunities to bail but didn,t do it. Until the %€$#@& cut the reward after promising to hike it. That finally broke the camel,s back and I bailed with measly 25% profit on my input. Still better than being in the red and it was fun while the going was good, trading and trollbox and all that. That,s worth something.
Good luck, galdur

Okay, let's say it other:
It is Scam. But you have no chance to prove it.
No court in the world will judge him.
Everybody has read the TOS.
especially "LIMITATION OF LIABILITY"
and "All services are provided without warranty of any kind, either express or implied."
Everyone knew the risk.

I bet Marcelo is really happy with you perpetrating this tale and justifying the scam. TOS is not the law. Defrauding people - whether that's in Brazil or on the interwebs - is a crime. You discouraging people from treating it as such is making you complicit, so make sure to hide really well behind that anonymous forum nickname. It might get really embarrassing one day if you slip up and connect to Bitcointalk without Tor/VPN.

So guys what is the update as of now ??

lets wait for TOS change where they say they can set your belongings free + kill you at any time

And i still think "Scam" is the wrong word.
There is no guarantee for profit or withdrawals.
Nothing on the side says "when you invest so much, you get so much back".
It's gambling. Nothing more. Like one the thousands of Dice sites.

Where does it say on the site that it's "gambling"? It's not like "dice sites" at all. Those have rules. This is a sociopath's playground.
Of course it's a scam. It takes money and doesn't provide the service nor does it return the money. It doesn't "mine" anything as claimed. It doesn't send withdrawals withing 24 hours as claimed. It takes money and "KHS" out of users' accounts.
Does it need a big red banner on the site to tell you that it's a scam?

Scrypt.cc runs it traffic through Colocrossing.com, a co-location server that allows websites to run their traffic through them and obfuscate the origin of their traffic. They are located in Buffalo, New York. This is the last known IP for Scrypt.cc: 107.152.186.58 USA Tracing at bottom of this post.
This is a boon, as it brings Scrypt.cc under the jurisdiction of both Federal law and New York State law in the United States. You have reason to report Scrypt.cc to the FBI, and the newly developed New York State Bitcoin Licensing Regulator. I will explain how to file a report with these agencies:
FBI
Call your local FBI field office. Listings easily found on any search engine. (Or the Phoenix Arizona field office if you are certain that Scrypt.cc hosts there and that this Arizona information is not a mis-direct.) You will not speak to an agent, but an intake interviewer. They will request your person contact information. If the FBI is interested in the case, they will contact you. it may not be immediately. If an agent in Colorado reads a complaint intake, he or she can check to see if anyone else has also filed a complaint. If they see that other people from other states have been filing complaints, this will tell the agent there many be something they need to investigate.
Even if you do not live in the U.S., the FBI should be notified of crimes occurring on their turf.
The FBI does not give out their email. They do not accept emailed complaints reports. Forget email or texting the FBI. Call or write a local field office.
New York State Bitcoin Regulator
The New York State Bitcoin Licensing law went into effect shortly before the demise of Scrypt. Because Scrypt.cc runs their traffic through Colocrossing.net of Buffalo, New York, it puts them under the jurisdiction of New York State law. This may be your ace in the hole, your “gotcha” card.
This bureau is so new, they have no formal complaints forms yet. The most likely have yet to take a case. It puts you at the front of the line, and in front of the only agency created specifically to pursue/prevent Bitcoin crime. For the time being, complaints are to be sent via email to:
[email protected]
When you write your report or complaint please do the following:
HEADER: Put the name of the company (scrypt.cc) and that it is a complaint report
BODY OF EMAIL:
1) The name of the company, Scrypt.cc, their physical address and email address. ([email protected] and [email protected] and any others you may have)
2) Type of company (virtual currency cloud mining company)
Tell them the Scrypt.cc runs their traffic through a Colocrossing.net, a Buffalo New York based company, that allows websites to disguise the origin of their traffic, and that this brings them under jurisdiction of New York law. You can provide as proof (of running traffic through Colocrossing.net) the trace that at the bottom of this post.
3) Your full name, physical address, email address and phone. The more contact information you give, the easier it will be to contact you, and the more legitimate you seem.
4) The amount of Bitcoin you sent to Scrypt.cc, and the date or time span.
5) The amount you lost
6) Describe in your owns words how you lost it, and your attempts to recover. You can include screen shots.
7) Do not give out passwords, or login I.D.’s.
Write the facts, and with a level head.
“The a**hole stole my Bitcoin and needs to go to jail” may not be acted upon.
“On August 1st, I tried to withdraw 15 Bitcoin. The withdraw shows processed and complete. The Bitcoin never arrived in my account. Many other people on the forums are reporting the same problem. I have filed several support tickets. They are not responded to and eventually deleted.” This gives information that can acted upon and is more likely to receive attention.
Some of you may have obvious losses: being prevented from withdrawing funds from your account. Some of you have less obvious losses: Suspecting that Scrypt.cc is sending out phishing emails to their own customers. Or driving down the price of their own stock so that customers will never be able to get back what they put in. It is OK to report both types of losses.
In filing a complaint report, you may be giving the New York Biotin Regulator’s Office something they need:
A need to show this is a wise use of tax payer dollars
A need to show that Bitcoin criminals can’t mess with New York State
A a big case they can cut their teeth on
A big win
Again, even if you do not reside in the U.S., New York State should be notified of crimes being committed within their jurisdiction.
Scrypt.cc has an Alexa ranking of about 7000. This is about 105,000 visitors per day. This is massive, massive fraud and could rival Mt. Gox in the amount of Bitcoin stolen from customers. If the New York Bitcoin Regulator’s office can bring to justice a case of this size, imagine what it would do for their reputation. imagine the message it would send to other Bitcoin scams out there.
It is conceivable that if arrested, Marcelo Santos et al could have RICO charges levied against them. This is the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. There are both Federal and State statutes for RICO. and the penalties are stiff. Some state codes are 39 years in prison. The most likely outcome in this scenario would be a generous reduction in sentencing in exchange for making Scrypt.cc customers whole.
Civil lawsuits can result in judgments which are difficult to collect. Government agencies have the ability to arrest, imprison, and seize assets.
Please submit a well thought out report with both agencies. It is not a good idea to cut and paste from this post in writing your complaint (unless it is the trace at the bottom). Many complaints all sounding similar are less likely to be acted upon than many complaints each written in an individual’s own voice. Do not use vulgar language or profanity.
Remember: The early bird gets the worm and the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Best to you in bringing this situation to justice.

Well scamCC larger payments into their wallets!
I burst out laughing scamCC.
So much more!
Then begin to pay withdraw!
At least Scamtos could write a statement that all the stolen funds have gone to charity or some shit like that 
At least that would make me feel slightly better.

OBVIOUSLY this anti-semetic bullshit is an attempt to derail and distract, probably done by one of the IRC ops - who are getting kickbacks from Scamtos to silence dissenting voices.
Beginning with the bullshit electricity cut, and well-within the so-called ROI period, there has always been some other bullshit, like the so-called hack, an extended vacation, health issues whatever, that caused a lowering of rewards, which once again put ROI out of reach of the vast majority of victims. Have a look at the history, look at your own history and see the truth of it .. every time you approached profit, it was put out of reach BY DESIGN! If you do not profit, that means the people running the site have - it's as simple as that. Lately the mfer is just lowering rewards whenever he feels like it - and still, the greedy idiots will deposit in hopes of once again getting there - you absolutely will not.
Mention that in IRC and see how long the paid Scamtos operatives allow you to continue to express your LEGITIMATE concerns. Listen to how they speak, and how much fun they are having while being so callous and uncaring .. heheheheing .. while your money goes up in flames.
Anyway, this won't mean much soon - after LTC halving, they will announce that this is no longer profitable, SORRY! and close the doors.
Hi TCG!! ...such an obvious c++t u are
FOLKS! this is another of their ploys ..telling you to just give up and walk away. Boohoo and blame yourself ..like this thievery was an act of god. Get MORE angry everytime you read something like this, because it is probably them.
Exactly.
...blame yourself... Typical ploy of criminals and psychopaths. it,s always someone other,s fault preferably the victim,s.
