Thanks everybody for responding with information.
It turns out it was ponzi scheme and i was scammed.
Fortunately lesson is learned although it could have been avoided if i had taken the time to check it out and investigate some more beforehand.

Appreciate the feedback and information.
Everything seemed legit and i'm usually skeptical in these situations but i guess I've been fooled.
This person doing the alleged scamming reached out to me on Instagram, having a profile showing what looks like authentic pictures of mining hardware and him posing as person who has made gains because of bitcoin mining.
He's profile is #cryp_branco on instagram.
Anyhow the wallet was created through blockchain app, and given to me to take over with my own password, but he's explanation was that he had to make it so it could be connected to the antminer.
Here is a some information from our conversation:

The roi works with my miner and what I’m using rn is the bitfury b8 miner and innosilicon A9 Zmaster at 50000th/s which will generate up to $51/day and we cut $1 charge leaving you with $50 that’s why the minimum investment is $500
That’s with the minimum amount of $500 you earn 10% daily for 30days
That’s total ROI of $1500
When the wallet is funded and confirmed by the mining hardware ...you start receiving your 10% payout directly into your wallet.

Our Mining services are not for free,I richard Branco would be legally entitled to 15% of the investor’s total profit each month(total profit after the 1 month mining time).
Your investment has been successfully confirmed by the mining hardware
You will start receiving your payouts in the next 24 hours
That will be a profit of $60 daily

3-4 days later:

Our mining bandwidth increased due to increase in bitcoin value so there is a 2% bonus which is applicable to all investors who made recent top up to their investment and also investors who have up to a thousand dollar capital
You can increase your investment to benefit from our bonus starting from your tomorrow’s payout
Each funds you add up to your wallet is being recorded and added to the mining hardware. That means any funds you add to your investment right now will be summed up with your first investment which will also increase your daily earnings and gives you a benefit of extra 2% bonus
Your investment starts counting each time you make a top up that means your previous earnings that is the amount in your mining wallet right now will also be added to your new earnings after the top up is made

That means the period is extended for additional days due to the top up.

Anyhow
Now i'm in this and he's trying to convince me that its all safe and i would now only need to top up 15% of the gains from the "non-spendable" to retrieve the amount that apparently is in my favor with a bit coin address linked to my wallet which says non-spendable with funds approximately 5k worth of btc.
I'm starting to feel as if i'm scammed, but not sure since i have contacted another guy whom is portrayed by branco as an investor.
He's profile was shared to me by branco, and he looks like a straight up family guy serving in the army.
I wrote to him asking if he had experienced the same, and how its going for him.
He gives me an answer saying that he confirms the same situation has happened to him, and i should trust keeping my investment with branco.
Apparently he's been investing with for a while as he states the following -
By 10th of this month will make it 6 months of my investment with cryp branco. Your investment is safe with them.



Anyways,

Hello,
I need to find out if im beeing fooled and scammed or if im safe and nothing to worry about.
I was contacted by someone who apparently works with mining and asked if I would be interested in investing in the mining.
The wallet was made for me with a password that I changed after logging in and transferd the minimum investment fund of 500$ I was told that the earnings was 60$ a day for 30 days.
After 3 days, now 5 days ago the hash rate increased and I received a notification saying that I had earned much more because of increase in mining speed.
To be able to retrieve that amount earned in what looks to be a non spendable im now told I have to do a top up in the wallet of 15% of whats in the non spendable.
I'm trying to figure out if im beeing scammed or if this is legit. Thanks for any answers helping to clarify this situation.
