Spectrocoin, Yobit, can't remember when I hear these names last time. It feels like I'm back to 2017.
I doubt that they want to scam you for $18. It's just common thing for centralised platforms, related with various regulations. Considering that money came from Yobit - exchange with terrible reputation, probably it's nothing strange that something got triggered on Spectrocoin side, even though it's little amount. Interesting how this story will develop further.

Haha, I agree with you. I have been inactive in the cryptocurrency field for a few years due to my employment and my job commitments. A few months ago I came back and started checking, cleaning and organising my old wallets and other logins. I found it interesting myself, it's like going back a decade in a time machine. At that time, Spectrocoin was a good tool for me and I used it well, although with caution, because I knew its origin, activities and some facts.

 Of course, the market has changed a lot over the years and new good players have emerged.

In fact, I was a bit surprised that Yobit allowed me to withdraw money, given its reputation. Well, maybe it's just because they let me withdraw a small amount in anticipation of a bigger top-up from me, but that's just my speculation. And the second time I was a bit surprised when the money came to Spectrocoin and not just out of Yobit Wink

Yeah, in this case the small money is not the point. The point is why and what are they doing it for? What is the reason? Where is the trigger here?  Once the answers are known, or if there will be no answers, which will also be some kind of answer, it will be possible to decide how to proceed with this company. For existing Spectrocoin customers or potential future ones, this little story may be of some help in the decision-making process.

So far, no news up to this minute. No emails from them, and my IP is still blocked.
Thanks.
