Yes, he's my friend. He was my neighbor. But I haven't met him for 2 years
There are several possibilities, maybe he is scamming you intentionally or he was fooled by someone else and asked to share the info , etc. I don't know the whole story, but what's for sure is no one will give you 1.5 BTC for noting. It's just a bait for people to deposit in that site. (SCAM)
As said above, the site has been taken down already. You might see another in the future, so be careful and don't be swayed.
Yep, I the site is down. I can't access it.
Thanks for ur warning.
