I'd post on this other thread to ask this, but can't as I'm limited to the newbie section:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=186539.0

I had mined with that pool when mining FTC was worthwhile, and had 11 FTC "stuck" in there, as the pool only pays out above 20. So I set about mining again just to get up to 20. The pool found two blocks in fairly rapid succession, which would have taken me up to 31 FTC but both are now showing as invalid:

Is there any way to see if this is real info, i.e. did the pool really find those blocks and they became invalid in some way, or is it just a scam to keep people mining for free in the hope of reaching 20 FTC to be able to cash out? If it's definitely a scam and I'm never going to get the FTC I have in there, obviously I'm better off doing something else with my GPU time and electricity.
