Hello everyone.
So I came across a buyer for my olive products, from Ukraine. He was supposed to buy and pay with bitcoins.
But he opted to pay usingbtc-take.com. He asked me to create an account, which I did. Then he transferred $9,000 of BTC to me and asked me to withdraw from the wallet. Upon attempt to withdraw, the system required me to first make a deposit of 0.01BTC to my wallet to “verify the external blockchain wallet” before I can proceed to withdraw from the btc-take wallet to my blockchain wallet.
That sounded of course very strange. And I asked him why. He said that is how it works.
After seeking clarifications, I found the domain has only been up 2 months. But he said he had been using it for two years.
That sounds ridiculous.
So friends, has anyone ever had this type of experience before? Please share your thoughts. Thanks

It's a scam

There's no reason you'd need to deposit funds to somewhere before being able to withdraw money that's yours.

-Buyer ask you to create an account so he can pay in Bitcoin
-This website ask you to verify by depositing

This 2 are just common red flags for scamming you, in fact you are lucky if this is not a phishing website as well so if you used your email and password at a similar wallet you should change it now. Remember you are asking Bitcoin as a payment so there is no reason for you to create a new kind of account just for your to receive payment since Bitcoin wallets are compatible to send and receive regardless if you have the same wallet or not. Just don't talk to him anymore he is not interested in buying your product he is just there to steal your money.

Just for the record, I try to search for this scam website in this community and we have two old threads confirming that it is indeed a scam.

[1]btc-take.com - BTC-Take
[2]btc-take.com : Bitcoin MLM Network

So as what the two posters says, stay away from this website.
