Cryptsy is CLOSED? Scam email....

[orac69]

Just had an email from support@crypts saying it has closed.

The headers are identical to recently received valid emails, so it looks legit.

AAARGGH.

According to Cryptsy twitter ( Bigvern@cryptsy) it's a phishing attempt

Cryptsy

Did they have given any proof to show that their fund in cold storage has been theft, how that can occur ? Smells fishy

It appears this IS a Scam attempt.

It looks like hackers have managed to get all customer info, AND have control of Cryptsy email server - as the sam email they sent out came from Cryptsy servers.

So while not an expert I would suggest changing your password on Crytpsy to a strong one, make sure 2FA is enabled, and not to act on ANY email received from Cryptsy - check their website directly for updates.

I agree. Do not start that "refund procedure " because most likely they'll ask you to enter your password and username and from then things might go really bad.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people nowdays who attempt to make money by cheating others.

That's a well known scenario. Sounds like typical 'exit strategy' for troubled exchanges. It's actually pretty convenient to close the business because of 'oops, we got hacked, no money for you - blame the hacker', rather than sorting out all the issues and pay back all the creditors.

phishing email or not, they will shut down anyways for sure, and believe me thats a good thing for cryptoworld

I agree with you, I left Cryptsy a long time ago, after a lot of withdrawal issues when a coin was
being traded massively, sometimes withdrawals took days. I always suspected them trading themselves
with my coins

Only reason the phishing attempt is being done is because of how fucked up and down ol Vern and company has been operating their scam... I mean business... damn... I keep accidentally calling Craptsy a scam for some reason....

if Cryptsy will CLOSED i think it doesn't matter as long these exchange can refund all money from their users people can accept that

Only thing now is to :- do remember all the Cryptsy team , Cryptsy fanboyz and devs that were along/supporting in this show all the time together for future such events be caught quickly ! As its the same people making making GOX show repeat again and again ! Specially the fanboyz who where telling i totally trust Cryptsy and they never go poof ! Similar to Garza fanboys ! Without this fanboyz, truth would have came out pretty soon ! Blind dumb herd mentality followers !
