Is this pool down at the moment or scam?

Hello, I have tried to get back in to the pools website ( https://cats.bettercoin.org ) for some hours, but I cant reach the site? Is the site just down at the moment, or was the pool just a scam?

Looks like it is down. None of the other subdomains are loading either.

How long has it been down?

How long has it been down?

Looking at the alt-coins forum maybe it has been shutdown? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=377433.0

Okey, Today i did get a mail from them

Hi Guys,

I can't trust the CAT addresses stored in the database behind the cats.bettercoin.org pool, since a bunch of funds were redirected to the thieves' wallet addresses after the successful hack. 

To expedite refund processing for coins in your bettercoin CATS account please provide me with only the following:

Subject: CAT Refund [your pool username]
Body: your current CAT Address

Thanks and sorry for the delay.  I was on the road for 12hours.  Processing EAC and TIPS pools next.

So guys, I do not think they did try to scam me

they are pretty legit, I think they were just down for a bit, you can always tell if its a scam if you check out the forums or number of users on a site, other tells are if they ask for a really high take/percentage and don't let you change the BTC payout threshold.

@Githoo Sure you need to know what happen anyways looks like they are just down.
