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 funds
The payment is to be made into this BTC address: 14hBpJncS6fqKZqoYAjRCGmbc63ZhLJ6Xs
Is this another scam? Any insight would greatly be appreciated.
Not a good move sorry for your loss. Basically, if you send fund or bitcoin to an address like this if it's already confirmed in the blockchain there is no way you could still recover your funds if it's already confirmed. Unless somehow you reported it to the authority and caught the company they might be available to recover the stolen funds from you. But sending bitcoin to recover your funds or to claim back your account etc. Bro that's obviously a big scam you might need to- do a little research first in the websites that you are planning in invest with.
