Vircurex.com behaving badly. Extreme caution advised.

[humble]

I've been trying to reset my password for vircurex.com for the past week. Multiple reset requests per day, multiple e-mails to customerservice. Also sent personal messages to user "Kumala" here on bitcointalk.

That combined with today's announcement of interest being paid on deposits I HIGHLY recommend that you reconsider using vircurex.com.

This behaviour is highly consistent with the final grab before wrapping up and absconding with the funds.

It's too bad because it has been an upstanding service up until this point.

If someone from vircurex.com would like to explain what's going on I'm all ears.

Keep us updated on this. I will try to message the owner.

ya I'm not sure why they would want to pay interest on deposits.  since the coins will just be sitting in the exchange.  it doesn't make sense.  any time i can't figure out how the money would make money it sends off alarm bells in my head.

I used to enjoy VIrcurex, but their shitshow of an IPO which was admittedly not as bad as McxNow's was still nearly a dealbreaker. Their being hacked a second time this spring was a dealbreaker though.

Update: Nobody is getting through we have over 40 complaints I cant post them as they are so vulgar but things are stacking up.

yes.  but how do they make money off of just deposits?  since they're paying interest for deposits i want to know why they to hold my money that isn't being exchanged.

If you have to ask you should probably assume the worst.

Anybody got any more updates on vircurex?

[Hippie Tech]

Its all FUD.

The OP is probably a troll with vested interests.

[Bitcoin Scammer]

I don't know we had a few complaints. Fud??  Not sure but there is grounds for the digging deeper.

Haven't you noticed the "FUD that exchange" war in progress ?
