Re: Strange email from Spectrocoin, money withheld, IP blocked. Any thoughts?
I remember Yobit had a very poor reputation here on the forum, I'm not up to date with their service, but you'll want to be careful using them.
"SpectroCoin reserves the right to suspend certain Services, the usage of the account and freeze your funds until your registration data and/or identity and/or any information related to you or your account is completely verified. Verification of your account will be determined at our sole discretion."
This means, as a centralized service they can do what they want for whatever reason they want. We can speculate all day on the possible reasons but it could be anything from an honest mistake to an attempt to scam, although the low amount suggests it's not the latter.
I can also not make sense of having your ip address blocked while you can access it on your phone (through the app right?). This should mean there is no limitation on your account but rather a broader issue.
Can a wallet manager hold a transaction?
Can they ask where the money came from and what you will spend it on?
Maybe they suspect some illegal activity and find the transaction suspicious?
Maybe they are hedging against a possible hacking?
I'll answer all of this with an excerpt from their terms of service;Can they ask where the money came from and what you will spend it on?

Yep, I must agree, they can do what they want for whatever reason they want, and I understand this. Just it was first time for me, although I have had many different transactions before, in larger amounts. If they do it for the sake of the platform and the security of my account, I'll be happy. And yet, the question sounded strange: what will you use your 18 dollars for?
No, on the phone I used web browser, not app. On my computer/desktop I have one IP, and on my phone web browser is another IP.
