Hello. I invested in in Coinxcryptominingcom last year which turned out to be a scam site. I posted on instagram about my ordeal and was recently contacted by @_jacob.armstrong about recovering my lost funds. He suggested contacting slushpool.com and gave me an email
contact@slushpool.co.uk to explain my story. I sent them my transactions with wallet addresses to where i sent my funds and this is the response I received.
Good Day ,
We can see from our records and investigations that all your money is on a cloud crypto currency wallet and none of it is lost This is because the CME ( Chicago Mercantile Exchange) gap got filled at $9200 on the 2019-6-16 08:42pm which is the exact time you sent 0.31433482 BTC ($2,861),
See the has code below as all your money in the cloud has amounted to this
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1MvuFAodHn775joqCnahJTiHuMnsQZnxM9However, we have tested your funding several times and each time it got exhausted by the blockchain liquidation machine.
Nevertheless, we can successfully say all your money is in safe hands and the only way for all your money is to be released is if you are to make an API Integration fee payment so all your funds amounting to 8.79034054 BTC will be released within 5 hours
You need to send 0.20 BTC ($1,897) as a fee to claim back your account.
And the additional fee of 0.20 BTC ($1,897) to recover all your funds.
We can say the total amounting to 0.41 BTC ($3,700) this payment is to be made within 48 hours if you want a successful refund of all your fundsThe payment is to be made into this BTC address: 14hBpJncS6fqKZqoYAjRCGmbc63ZhLJ6Xs
Is this another scam? Any insight would greatly be appreciated.
The above bold part was enough to read and know that it's an obvious scam.
This reminds of those days when email scam was a norm and people used to ask some kind of fees to send the so called lottery winning amount to senders address.
This is something similar where the scammer is asking for some kind of fees to send the amount to the senders address.
Sorry for your loss but the amount has gone to wrong hands already and there is nothing you can do about it.
