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.

They accepted your request.
Do you use blockchain wallet
yes
Ok
Heard of the blockchain mining network
no
Ok there are two options..what options do you choose?you can choose to connect the blockchain wallet to the blockchain mining network by yourself meaning you will have to buy the bitmain miner hardware OR
i can help you connect your blockchain wallet to the blockchain mining network using the antimer bitmain miner hardware i have.
The second choice is a no investment.i wont charge you cos i am helping you connect your blockchain wallet to the blockchain mining netowork using the hardware i have.it increases the miners fee i receive for the transactions i make.
how do u help connect
We'll be working with The bitmain bitminer +l5 hardware miner. We use this to mine bitcoins on the Blockchain network. Soon the new BCC will be included among the coins being mined. For this you'll need your Blockchain wallet. Which you'll use to receive the mined bitcoins. No investment is involved. You just need to make your wallet eligible to receive the bitcoins by making a transaction of about 0.03btc with it. After 30mins you empty the wallet. After this is done you'll receive up to $100 free for start up. Once your wallet has been configured and connected to the Blockchain network. And is made eligible to receive bitcoins, you'll start getting earnings of 0.1 btc every 24 hours. We do this to generate traffic which is used for mining. We were doing this privately and creating the wallets ourselves but finally decided to share this with the public so they create the wallets themselves do the activation while we focus on the mining. That way it'll get exposed to a lot of people which bring a lot of earnings for the miners too. We have also chosen not to sell the hardware miner for now, so that when it gets acknowledged 1st we can start selling
by making a transaction of about 0.03btc ?
what that means?
You add 0.03btc to your wallet after the configuration
and u steal it?
so i give u the wallet id?
Nope
You change your password after configuration
ok what do u need from me?
Do you have the btc to activate your wallet after configuration?
yes
Ok
Do you have an empty blockchain wallet?
y
Ok good
Now you send me the wallet id password and email address so Ill configure the empty wallet and after configuration you change your password before you add btc to the wallet
password?
?are u crazy?
Yes you change that after configuration
The wallet has to be empty for configuration bro
and u steal from me
Steal how I didnt ask for a wallet with btc on it
I asked for an empty wallet
because once i transfer btc u recover the 12 words
man and u steal
i am not idiot
