Hello, I’m fairly new to crypto. Teaching myself and learning hard lessons. I was investing in a Bitcoin mining firm, making great profits on paper but tough to receive profits. I finally supposedly am being paid out but I believe I am being jerked around. I was told I was sent 21k worth of btc to a certain blockchain wallet. The blockchain account is fairly new and only used for a couple petty transactions as test. Nothing shows coming in or received, the payout manager says : “ this is your first large transaction receiving from a high frequency mining account and once you deposit about 4200 into your wallet, the 21000 will automatically reflect “ Is this a complete lie? I ask for a transaction id so I can see it was sent but nothing. I do not want to put the 4200 in my wallet because I’m suspicious of this whole thing. I’ve invested over 13k and never received profits although I have about 80k in my account with them. Should I cut my losses and move on? Or is it possible the scenario is true? Thanks to anybody that can help.
That is totally a scam, what wallet would ask for a deposit before reflecting your payout, that's a pure lie, you should not invest in that, they are trying to lure you to deposit in the account that they have full control, and once you have sent the amount they will get it and run, i suggest you just deposit your money to an exchange, like Binance or poloniex or even create an eth wallet or BSc wallet, and buy profitable token or coin, don't waste your time and money on those scams, it will get you nowhere.

The general rule of life (also applicable to crypto) is never ever trust anyone or any company that promises to pay you after you pay them a smaller amount. It's a clear scam, you see, the amount they want to claim from you, they can just deduct that amount from the amount they have to send to you, it's a very popular scam and sadly many fall for these because of greed, it's best to just use your money in a good way like create a business in real life or open a shop etc, instead of trusting companies promising guaranteed returns. Hopefully you get out of this with minimal losses!

Unfortunately I have to confirm to you that this is a lie, it has already become a classic scam in which scammers try to deceive those who still do not understand how the blockchain or any crypto wallet works. That wallet they want to you make a deposit in is actually under their control, I guess you only have access to a watch-only wallet where you can only see transactions, but you don't have private keys to give you control over the coins that are part of that wallet.
What you can do now is to report the fraud to the police, and if you want to help others not to become victims of the same scam, to expose them publicly in the Scam Accusations board -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0
