I think it's funny everyone assumes I'm a guy. I'm just going to let it go. After I responded and said the wallet address was correct and I had a seasoned investor helping me.. they ghosted. Soooo yea. Theres no bank info tied to my blockchain and I would of NEVER sent over more money. As for my friend... she was referred by another friend as well who received money. This friend of mine who referred me has been a trusted friend for several years and I know she wouldn't ever try to scam me. She did get a return but she did also lose some of her initial investment so she had losses too. I guess this is a perfect example of what everyone said... get people to trust you... show them a little money return and then get more money then bolt. Cutting my losses and moving on. Thanks for the help everyone!

You will find this a lot around here so take it with a grain of salt. First sorry you most likely got scammed, it happens, I know from experience. This sounds like it may have been some form of a ponzi. Now on the off chance the company is legit the address they are looking for is a public receiving address for your wallet. Not sure about coinbase but it should honestly be as easy as hitting "receive" or "fund" and then sending the company that address. This is also really easy through blockchain.com... I think now haven't used them in a long time. I am glad to her you say that you will not send them any funds, as this is a common scam tactic to get more of your funds. They will claim it's needed to verify it's you. There isn't really much else to be said but I did find this for coinbase. Hope that helps. https://support.coinbase.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1027432-where-is-my-wallet-address- Use this lesson in the future, and do more research in a project. Best of luck. Thank you for sharing all that. It looks like I did send the right address so you are probably right... they are most likely trying to get more from me which I definitely know not to send more money. I just wanted to make sure I was correct in the address that I sent in the first place. I'm just going to let it go. It's a shame people are out there doing this but that's their karma.

They won't get double because I'm not linking my card. Honestly, I'm not sure what kind of company this is. I just trusted my friends recommendation and even waited until she got a payout to move forward with it. They won't pay you. You invested $3,000 which is already a big amount and you don't even know what company it is? You don't know where you put your money? You just invest because you see your friend got returns? OMG! Don't be mad to me but what a greedy person you are. Look at what you have done because of your greediness. You don't even know what you're talking about. I invested the money because I was trying to help my family who fell upon rough times (who I already help out) & invested it for them to have returns. I can find the name of the company in emails but I'm not going to give it out on here...and I was working with an account manager so everything was done through him- but honestly, get off your high horse for a second & stop assuming you know peoples intentions... I've spent the better part of my life helping others financially & putting myself last.

Seems like they trying to scam you again. So what if you pay for it, the next thing you know there is your 3k then ask you to pay this and that until you didn't know your paying them in double. Is the company sort of an exchange site? So they could pay me yet still get the money back? They won't get double because I'm not linking my card. Honestly, I'm not sure what kind of company this is. I just trusted my friends recommendation and even waited until she got a payout to move forward with it.

@bittraffic I've said multiple times I WILL NOT give them any more money nor have they asked for more money. Everyone keeps saying the same thing but they haven't asked for more nor would I send more. I'm just trying to figure out how to share the address with them for them to send money to. My original investment was $3000. My friend did $6000 and she got a return (& showed me her return). That was the only reason I went ahead with it as I'm typically cautious about such things. I know a little of FOREX... I did trade BTC over the summer myself ... but just for fun. That's why I have knowledge of MT4, etc. I don't have any interest in learning all the things as I have a beauty biz that I run.

A little over a year ago, a trusted friend was referred to invest into a company who does the trading for you. She ended up getting a nice return and referred me. I was skeptical but because she was a trusted friend and had already received a return on her investment, I decided to give it a shot. I invested several 1000's and then the company said they got hacked a couple months later. Anyways, I figured I had been scammed and just let it go. But a week ago I just thought I'd email to see if I could get my return back. I didn't expect a response but I got one. So here I am now. They tried sending it to the blockchain address I created but I had no idea what I was doing and I received an email this morning that they (the company who does the trading) tried to send over the the transfer but the wallet address was not eligible. They said my bitcoin wallet needs to be activated with company wallet. Clearly I have no idea what that means and I also did not add any banking info, etc in my blockchain because the last thing I want is for my bank account to be compromised. Can anyone help me figure this out so I can get my money back? Thank you! Trading is this: Buy low / sell high. So what they promised you is that they would do all of this actions with your money too, in overall they would collect big capital, profit for themselves and share some percent with you because of invested capital from you. But in reality all they do is nothing, pay first investors and leave last investors without money. It's 100% scam that they said your bitcoin wallet needs to be activated with company wallet, I think they'll ask you to send some money on their company's address in order to verify your wallet so keep in mind that it is scam, never do that! You can't get your money back. Thank you for sharing all that - that's basically what happened but my friend did get a return which is the ONLY reason I was open to it. They haven't asked for any money. They just said that the address I gave them didn't work. I had just set up the blockchain account and I just hit request and copied the address provided. Is that the correct way? I hadn't verified any info yet, etc - just literally opened the account and went straight to request. So that is where I'm wondering if I did it wrong. And again, I won't send any money.

Quote from: djsugar on January 02, 2020, 05:12:51 PM That activation part don't make sense. For receiving your funds, Bitcoin wallet is enough and it doesn't need any kind of verification for that matter. However, new you're , I am sure you know how to work with bitcoin wallet. So don't involve in any kind of information sharing or trade with these guys. If they are ready to send funds. Just give them your public key. If they again come up with another excuse. Leave it and move on. They might be planning another hack. Never trust a hacker twice! Right. What I was saying is I think I gave the wrong address as I've never used blockchain before and it all looks foreign to me since I know nothing about trading. The most experience I have with anything is Hugo's way & MT4. & that's very limited. I just switched over to coinbase- I'm just trying to understand what bitcoin wallet address to give. Coinbase seems to have more support there so I will research to see what I need provide. Obviously I'm not attaching any banking, etc and won't give any more money to this.

I wouldn't give any more money to this... I'm just supposed to send my bitcoin wallet address - from what I understand, I can send that just not my ID & I'm still safe. None of my banking is attached so they can't take anything from me.
