Just a note to warn folks about this new and very convincing scam.
They contacted me via email, offering a refund and compensation for an "investment" I had made in OptionBit (another, binary options scam), nearly ten years ago, when I was much younger and much more foolish.
I had indeed "invested" with option bit, so that made it sound convincing, and they even direct you to a "third party" site to reclaim your funds (365change.net), where of course you have to "verify" your account by submitting personal details, passport etc
Very slick, but a few things set off alarm bells, and on checking the domain names, both sites (smartstand.org / 365change.net) were registered within days of each other, less than two months ago.
If you're not convinced, please ask them for their address, company number, and ask them to verify the amount that you invested with OptionBit. They won't be able to tell you any of those, of course.
Take care.
