Hi folks
Am a newbie to the world of Bitcoin.
I have had 4 days of discussion with some re this exact scam - they are using a fake profile, seem to have multiple people posing as the person  ( too many weird sentences, changes) and tonight they tried to tell me that its ok to give them the details as then I am supposed to destroy the wallet and recreate from a new wallet from the seed. They even spoke about how it was all changed recently after the Nigerian conference ( which is also exposed as fake) and that Blockchain made an announcement re seeding to protect folks from the scammers and hackers. They also sent a video showing it earning from the supposed Ant Miner.

Once they started calling me Sir - I called them on it, till then it was a learning experience as hadnt met a scammer till then.  It got rather hilarious as they tried to convince me to stay


btw am seeing on average  4-5 posts a day from multiple folk promoting this scam.
To the original poster - thank you, sorry your friend was unlucky.
Thanks very much for confirming a newbies hunch.
