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

However, 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 funds

The payment is to be made into this BTC address: 14hBpJncS6fqKZqoYAjRCGmbc63ZhLJ6Xs

Is this another scam? Any insight would greatly be appreciated.

You should have google and check about cloud crypto mining. You will see all of them are scam!
And you won't be able to recover your fund. That jacobarmstrong guy is probably a scammer. I highly doubt contact@slushpool.co.uk belongs to slushpool.com. Why is the email domain .co.uk while the domain has .com? Don't pay any fee or anything. That guy probably filled you in with bullshit information.
Jacobarmstrong seems to be a someone who looks for victims and take advantage of their situation.

I think that is the better suggestion for you. And I want to add something more that is always make search then you should pay and trust on any website. And If you are thinking about cloud mining then eliminate that thinking it will always destroy you. Try the real mining.
