Have I been scammed - legalminner.com?? Is it real

[Justamama]

Hoping someone can help. Is Legalminner.com a real thing ? Someone “helped me set it up and buy bitcoin (I think) but then started asking me to pay them money to withdraw my profit.  So I backed out. But I’ve sent a bit of money somewhere, I think to this legalminner website so I’m wondering if it’s a scam or if it’s real and maybe I can learn to use it and somehow get my money back ?? Long shot I know

Thanks in advance

From what I understand you've paid for something claiming to be mining for you. 99.99+% of such "businesses" are scam.
Did they ask for more money to allow withdrawal of your own money? 100% scam, it proves that you have 0 money there.

How to get your money back? Well.. how you get any money back when scammed: go to the police and expect a miracle.

but then started asking me to pay them money to withdraw my profit.

As stated by NeuroticFish, you've been scammed. Any service asking you to make a deposit to be able to make withdrawal is a scam and shouldn't be trusted.
Also note that the website in question has been registered only 15 days ago. Don't waste more time and money on this website.

Cloud mining is a well known crypto scam method for years.
By "cloud mining",I mean all the "companies",that are asking you to invest money in them,so they could "mine" cryptocurrencies for you.This is one of the oldest crypto scams.
If a company asks you to pay a fee,in order to release funds and withdraw money,this is definitely a scam.
Multiple email spam folders are full with "Pay $100,so we could unblock your $10,000 award" type of scam emails.
This is one of the oldest scam methods on the internet.Even the "Nigerian prince" method has something to do with this scam.
Just like other forum members have mentioned,the only thing you could do is to report the domain on Namecheap.You could try to contact the police or hire a company,that could track down the BTC transactions(if the scammer isn't using a BTC mixer),but I don't think that you could get back your money.

Is Legalminner.com a real thing ?

Not it's not. It's scam. Consider all cloud mining to be scam. It's useless.

Someone “helped me set it up and buy bitcoin (I think) but then started asking me to pay them money to withdraw my profit.  So I backed out. But I’ve sent a bit of money somewhere, I think to this legalminner website so I’m wondering if it’s a scam or if it’s real and maybe I can learn to use it and somehow get my money back ??

Well, that someone whom I believe was even a stranger was a scammer.

You could try to contact the police or hire a company,that could track down the BTC transactions(if the scammer isn't using a BTC mixer),but I don't think that you could get back your money.

Reporting to police won't help OP. he will waste way more money trying to trace the scammer.
