Unexpected turn in business with Benebit SCAM
Good afternoon. Today, the wallet for which we (those people who invested money) started the movement of money. What was my face (surprise) when I saw my money 3 hours ago on the account. What was it?  ???
Money was returned to me, from a different address.
Honestly, I'm already used to the idea that I will not see this money again.

Could you explain a bit better? Because I don't understand what are you trying to say, this  maybe: Money started moving and you don't know where, but you lost your money ?

 If this is the case there is nothing much you can do, all that can be done is that exchanges don't allow those people to deposit crypto from that address. By doing that they will lock their coins instead. But having in mind that these people new what they were doing, they even registered with false IDs on websites where that was needed for advertising purposes I think that money is lost, it is sad since many new investors got caught up in the scam. But there is nothing much you can do as crypto doesn't work like banks do, so there are no refunds.

Benebit has almost disappeared from the internet,
and ICO review sites have wasted no time in scrapping their positive reviews of the ICO,
which was less than two months away.
The Benebit official website was shut down,
along with its other social media accounts.
However the Telegram channel is still active,
as hired moderators were responsible for updating the channel.

DAMN , feels bad to hear about this..

Maybe I did not rightly explain my idea. Money was returned to me, from a different address. I looked at the transactions of this wallet, and it is clear that many deposits have been returned today.  8)

Hmmm that is strange if the amount is the same you have invested there, would be good if somebody can vouch for this being done. I wonder why would anybody try to return money it doesn't sound logical to me. I guess you can call yourself lucky for getting it back but this doesn't sound right, at least I am having hard time to believe in this.

Judging by the entries from the 0xb45c812c71f8bfaf8dc815f6d0badf28b74e4d57, from this address the deposits were returned to all who invested money. I checked 10 addresses and it's true.
I myself can not believe in such luck. You can look.

That's not good for the investors of that project. I hope that they can somehow get their money back...

Lucky the end)). But honestly this is so strange. Maybe some Robin Hood hacked Benebit)

Yes indeed. for a scam rather odd to give the money back. Perhaps, in reality, it was not a scam project. And how quickly all sites removed their laudatory ratings ...

Very interesting turn of events. Maybe they want to start everything first, without deceiving? Need to keep track of developments.

You may be right. I got my 2 ETH back 21h30m ago from the same address. Exactly what I put into benebit an had written off as lost forever.
26 hours ago 4434 ETH was deposited to a not-used-before-address () and since then until about 13hours ago, just above 3300 ETH was sent out, as it is only 1097 eth left:

Only thing that can come to my mind right now is that this was done to show how ICOs can be dangereus if you invest in them. But then I ask myself why on earth would they spend all that money on advertising plan everything and do EXIT scam only to return the money and say "be careful this can happen". Something really stinks here. I mean this is great if they are giving money back to people there isn't anything bad about that guess those guys have extreme luck.

Altcoins are usually not going to be worth any money if they are not used in the outside world. That coin is pretty easy to figure out.

One just have to be very careful before investing in any ICO. There are so many scam ICOs out there that one might just easily fall for. Personal and thorough  research must be done before investing in any one of them. You are so lucky you got your money back. So many people have fell prey to these scams.
