This makes some sense, but my worry is, initially it was only 20 btc, yesterday when i opened the thread it was 205, now its 246, why are bitcoins still being sent to the wallet? I have 2fa for the wallet. I just dont understand what the guy is doing. He has not blocked me from contact and generally answers  my chats, but am wondering why he is so calm when 246 bitcoins are lying in that wallet nd he may never have access to them, i dont know if im missing something

As already said by others, it is a watch-only address (can you check whether it actually is?) and the address is controlled by some other guy (not you, not him). Why do you bother if he mines them Huh
Those bitcoins aren't his, so why should he be worried?

You got to understand what private key is lol. Cheesy


There are no outgoing even though i received an email from blockchain saying there was a transaction declined, its not only 2fa, the wallet is secured to my ip as well

Wow. Tongue
Even if this guy really had 20BTC on that account, he doesn't need to access the wallet secured with your "2FA" since he already has the private key.




tl;dr simple version.
1. You are given a wallet that simply shows the balance of an address the other guy picked to scam you.
2. You see the balance and sends him the amount.


Some facts:
1. This guy does not or did not ever control that address.
2. Anyone with the private key of an address can access the address. So if I give you a wallet loaded with a private key, and you secure that wallet, I can simply use another wallet, load the private key into it and use the funds.

Either OP got scammed hard or is just trolling people to waste their time. Either way, this thread is pretty much pointless for now.

The OP hope to get helped from "genius-EthicHacker" and split the amount of BTC on that address.
"18U76Dc9KqQtvAFZmxKQU5FxCXQS149FKz"
100 BTC for the "genius-EthicHacker" and the rest goes to his new wallet address.

I'm sorry from my late post that accuse you as a scammer, helpneeded101
But now, you are really a scammer.

If you are really the owner of the wallet. You'll complain with my late post. And give your "brief explanation or answer".
But, you not.

If you payed with bank transfer, you should know at least the real name of the guy. If you are in a same country you could maybe find a lawyer and try to force him to pay it back.
OK, you set the 2FA on that account. Is it a web account or more secure one?
 Is it possible that he continues to scam others and this is why BTC is still being sent to that account?

i dont quite understand if you and the seller cant use it and you are both talking whats the problem... or the whole  thing is a wash
I think that the seller had a watch-only  wallet, the seller used that to exchange between him and OP. OP got scammed in fiat but seller didn't have any bitcoin at all.

This makes some sense, but my worry is, initially it was only 20 btc, yesterday when i opened the thread it was 205, now its 246, why are bitcoins still being sent to the wallet? I have 2fa for the wallet. I just dont understand what the guy is doing. He has not blocked me from contact and generally answers  my chats, but am wondering why he is so calm when 246 bitcoins are lying in that wallet nd he may never have access to them, i dont know if im missing something

are there any outoing transactions from the wallet? i know you say you have 2fa enabled but check to see if any outgoing transactions have happened. the guy may have a way around the 2fa and would show why he is not worried and is so calm
There are no outgoing even though i received an email from blockchain saying there was a transaction declined, its not only 2fa, the wallet is secured to my ip as well

then is does seem odd that hes replying to your messages and keeping contact but not releasing any money to you.

So, basically, the guy created your account and set a warch-only address?  That's what I'm seeing unless I missed something.
That sounds about right.

Unfortunately this kind of scam is attempted fairly often, and AFAICT has very little success, however through the eyes of a new user of Bitcoin the setup sounds legitimate and new users would be the ones to fall for it if they are not warned sufficiently quickly.
