And most likely he were never being in contact with real cloudbet but some scammer who see his email from the scam report and send him email requesting him to add random telegram.
So you suggested them to pay 1-2BTC, even knowing there is very very high chance this is...
"some scammer"?
Actually, it is strange to say this after all. After this:
i contacted the OP (ginalli) to ask him few questions (of course not private) and seems like cloudbet is asking for bribe (cash under the table) to unlock his account from what he says.
correct me if i am wrong but we seen that before..
casinos locking people account to milk money from the big players, and in the end after the big noise, they always do that and milk their players.
this is classic case and not something new...
sadly the amount is big this time
If you don't mind sharing where you have seen this before?
The point of everything is for start to know is he talking with the real cloudbet or random scammer.
That is not what happened. This happened:
