It's a scam. Let me show you how they intend to dupe you:

1. They convince you to hand over your Blockchain wallet's login credentials. With that information, they access your account and click on the settings tab:



2. Within the settings tab, they click on addresses:



followed by + import bitcoin address:



3. A pop up box appears, prompting for a public address or a private key:



In this example, let's use the dormant address 14WWrJMGPo43mAoLXoH53pREAEUAFFW66T

After pasting this address in the box and clicking on the light blue import button, you are prompted to confirm the import process:





Notice the extremely believable balance:



If you verify the balance, it does exist:

A scammer who, for example, offers Skype video proof can use this as evidence of having bitcoins. If you are not aware of the watchlist feature, you might be convinced and if you are one of the gullible ones, might even proceed with paying first, thinking along the lines of Hey this guy has millions so he can't be a scammer?! Let me quickly send him that 1 BTC!

Do not fall for this scam. Ask for signed proof of bitcoin ownership.

OP, don't be scammed. Think! Why would they put money on your account and risk losing it, given it's YOUR account and not theirs? Go ahead and follow the above steps. Stopping scams is most effective when you understand how these thieves do it.

Ye that sounds just about right what your saying and I believe that Thx and most of it ecspecially the activating it is trash   The money never has to be activated once it’s sent it’s yours done deal

Are you sure?

What company?


A real trader with a real brokerage would not need (OR ASK FOR) the info to get into YOUR blockchain.info account.

There is NO VALID REASON for him to have that.


He shouldn't have it, and he shouldn't give it to anyone else.


NOPE.

That's not how bitcoin works.

If they want to send you bitcoins, they do NOT need to log in to YOUR account.  They need to log into THEIR account and then send a transaction from THEIR account to you.


If it says "watch only", that means that they DID NOT send you ANY bitcoins.

Instead, they sent bitcoins to THEMSELVES, and then modified your wallet so that you can SEE the bitcoins but you can't access them (because they are NOT in your account).


And since he can log into this account, then as soon as you send the 1 BTC, he can take the bitcoin and disappear.  You will have nothing.


That's a smart idea.

Im not sure if i understand you right..
But as far as i understand your post.. its basically this:

---

What do you mean?
Do you mean he sent the transaction and you can see it in a block explorer?


I would definetely advise to create a new wallet and move your funds to your new wallet as soon as possible!

---

Reminder:
Never give anyone access to your blockchain.info account.
Never send anyone your private keys / wallet files.
Never send "money first, to receive money back" - Thats a scam. And to be honestly, a very bad one.

Everyone who has access to your private keys has full control over your funds.

Much of what you are saying isn't making sense. It is not clear how much of that is because you don't understand what you are trying to say, and how much of it is because the person you are transacting with is misleading you.

Lets start with some basics...

You have a blockchain.info wallet?

How did you get that wallet? Did you set it up yourself, or did someone else set it up for you?

Did the sender ask you to import anything into your blockchain.info wallet?  Such as a private key or a bitcoin address?

What is the transactionID of the transaction where you "see the incoming transaction"?

You said? "he or the company does have access to it" What does that mean? Does the sender have the password for your blockchain.info wallet? Does the sender of the bitcoins have a private key or address that they gave you to access the bitcoins?  What exactly does "he or the company" have access to?

It sounds likely that someone is attempting to scam you, but enough of what you are saying doesn't make sense that it is possible that you are simply misunderstanding (and mis-explaining) something.

Spending from an address requires its corresponding private key so if the address is tagged as "watch-only" you can't spend from it as it means exactly as it sounds, you can only watch it. Are you sure you're the only one who has an access to this wallet? because watch-only address/es can't just be there by default, somebody has to add them first so they can show up. But they guy is indeed fishy I'm 99.9% sure that he's a scammer for the reasons already stated by foxpup.

Also, good job on asking here first before sending any cents

This is what's known as an advance-fee scam. You will not recieve any money; if you send money to this person, they will abscond with it instead of paying you what you are owed.

No legitimate payor will ever ask you for a fee in order to send you money. If any such fee is actually required, it can simply be deducted from the amount you are payed.

"Watch only" means it is not your wallet, and you are not able to spend money sent to it. Who gave you the link to see this transaction? If it was the scammer, it is likely an attempt to trick you into thinking you have received money (or are going to) when you have not (and will not).
