Hello, everyone,
I am new to Bitcoin, and I recently received a Bitcoin transaction on get. The transaction seems legitimate, because the customer of mine showed me a transaction receipt from an ATM and my wallet address written on it, but they require me to log in their website, create and account and verify my ID & SSN in order to claim the bitcoin to my wallet, which makes no sense to me smh. I am not sure if the website is trustworthy and i found nearly NADA info regarding it over the web. I am hesitant to accept the transaction until I know for sure that the platform is legit.
Has anyone used getcoinsmarket.com before? Is it a reliable platform for Bitcoin transactions? How can I verify the authenticity of the transaction and ensure that it is not a scam?
I would appreciate any guidance or advice on this matter. I am new to the world of Bitcoin, and I want to ensure that I am using a safe and secure platform.
Thank you in advance for your help!
It is giving me the feels that it's a scam. Why would someone will require you to visit a website when you've just made a transaction? What's done is done and there's no need for anyone to reach out to you or asking you to login some info. From that part, as you've said that it doesn't really make sense at all. I don't know the website but if that customer of yours has shown you some receipt then you better verify the transaction from looking at the network by entering that address of yours and see if there's really a transaction that has made. It may be simple as it is but you've said that you're still new and everyone is going to be patient to you. Actually, how did your customer know that it's your bitcoin wallet address? Is it posted in your store somewhere or there's the qr code? Do you mind posting your bitcoin wallet address for us to check the transaction?
