Hello everyone,
I am very new to crypto and have unfortunately invested money with a person who I believe is a scammer.
She was guiding me and I have followed because I trusted her, I know now that was pretty stupid.
According to her I now have the earning from her trading and mining endeavours she has done for me sitting in a
Crypto onchain wallet on a virtual RPC node.
I was told by the crypto help desk that the virtual nodes are for test and demo purpose and that there is not really any value
behind them even if they show a value in the wallet.
My scammer friend is very convincing and wants me to pay a  holding and transfer fee (of course) to release this money so I can withdraw it.
If the node is not real the money is gone and she is a scammer I have fallen for but if it is real then I would like to know that?

Can anyone tell me or confirm how I can find out if the money (Ethereums) in my wallet is really there or not?
I can see it but I just cannot withdraw it, swap it for another coin or move it.
I have a feeling it is a scam.
Thanks for any help!

First of all, Do you own the keys for the wallet?

If you can not swap or withdraw the funds, then it's not real and it's obviously a scam. Paste your wallet address on etherscan to see available coins in your wallet. If it shows, then you should be able withdraw or swap them as long as you have the seed phrases. You don't need to pay anyone to release it for you. If it shows nothing, then there's nothing real in your wallet but a fake numbers and value.

It's good you learn this early in your journey. Don't invest by proxy. Take your time to learn before you invest.

If it's your friend, why not meet him in person and ask for a full explanation?
This looks like a classic cloud mining investment scheme. Your balance is just worthless digits, and he's just trying to trick you into depositing more money to "withdraw" hundreds of thousands of dollars in ETH. Don't do it; it's a clear scam.

Yes, you're!
After reading the jargons the scammer is using to convince you about some fake Ethereum some how through RPC bla bla and your friend( a lady for that matter) is still trying to make you do it but your conscience is not telling you enough that it's a scam.

A simple Google search should help you know that this is a scam, the person you claimed to be your friend and is able to pull this off and you still think the person is your friend is scary, I'm not sure if you know the difference between a friend and a witch at this point Grin

I'm not going be sarcastic, you are about to be scammed. There is no free money on the internet, let that get into your head. This is just one of the other plenty scams that are online. They will claimed to give you some coins, could be usdt, ether or sol and requested you make withdraw and when it's time to withdraw, they asked for a fee to be deposited into a particular address and as soon as you make that deposit, you have just unluck another stage of scam.

They are going to request another fee a second time, if you are not able to wake from the scam, they will continue to ask for the fee until you later realize that you are been dupe. Stay away from scam platform and fake giveaways.

behind them even if they show a value in the wallet.
This is an obvious scam, you should cut yourlosses and stop any contact with the person except if you plan on getting them arrested.

I'm also worried what crypto help desk you are referring to. It is not unusual for scammers to pretend to ve helping you escape a scam and then try catching you in another.
