Too bad....!
SC and BNM provide SwissCash valid reason to block new intending investor (which may be good??) and worse of all SwissCash to ebscond our money! We don't even have the change to withdraw because all fund converted to ACF can only be withdrawn after 1st October. This is very immoral of SwissCash to withhold our investment. So in this respect SwissCash has preplan to scam us. Even if SwissCash is for real, what right do they have to hold withdrawal? Besides, the conversion from SIP25 fund to ACF was never communicated to any investors when they took this action on 1st April. You and I who have invested in SwissCash have been fooled and SwissCash actually choose this date to fool all of us. Whether we are been scammed or not may be the direct result of the action of the authorities. How unfortunate. Just wonder if we could recover our money...

True. Dont even know status of my acc with SCash. Cant access site.

I'm sure nobody is hurt because most investor invest money that they can afford to lose

That is consequence of investing in money game. Don't expect to get refund from them if they are closed.

It is time to invest money into unit trust which is approved by SC, Bank Negara although the return is not as high as HYIP but at least our hard earn money is still with us.

until the next market crash... in my opinion, market outlook still uncertain n for now, may be prudent to 'keep cash for the crash'
