Thanks alot guys i had a bad felling about it just wanted to make sure. ill take it as a lesson learned at least i did not lose much.

It's a nice idea that you asked here first before proceeding to that very shady instruction that was given to you. Creating wallet can be done on your own and you don't need to get a wallet from others. He/she might hold the private keys and once you loaded that wallet with a good amount of bitcoin, they'll just retrieve it through recovery words/seeds.

Even it's just an empty wallet, practice that you won't receive or give any detail from others regarding your personal wallet. I think I remember this kind of scam through spam groups on facebook and asks people if they want to earn '0.1 BTC' and their script, 'just reply how and I'll message you'.

Maybe it is another way of scamming/fooling people which most of them are really innocent of creating wallets or new in this crypto community. I have also heard about asking people if they wanted to earn Btc which it's actually a bait for you to be scammed, that's why we need to be careful on asking and sharing personal information about our wallets or etc.

I personally encountered one before but of course I didn't bite the bait that they made. They really wanted you to send an exact amount to that address and want to make you believe that you'll earn passively, that's their style.

They will inform you that they are mining and of course they'll use fake pictures of mining farms that they just copied somewhere on the internet. OP you need to have a little more knowledge about bitcoin and start knowing more about on how to create wallets. There's a pinned post about that.
