Hello. I invested in in Coinxcryptominingcom last year which turned out to be a scam site. I posted on instagram about my ordeal and was recently contacted by @_jacob.armstrong about recovering my lost funds. He suggested contacting slushpool.com and gave me an email [email protected] to explain my story. I sent them my transactions with wallet addresses to where i sent my funds and this is the response I received.

Good Day ,
We can see from our records and investigations that all your money is on a cloud crypto currency wallet and none of it is lost This is because the CME ( Chicago Mercantile Exchange) gap got filled at $9200 on the 2019-6-16 08:42pm which is the exact time you sent 0.31433482 BTC ($2,861),
See the has code below as all your money in the cloud has amounted to this
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1MvuFAodHn775joqCnahJTiHuMnsQZnxM9

However, we have tested your funding several times and each time it got exhausted by the blockchain liquidation machine.
Nevertheless, we can successfully say all your money is in safe hands and the only way for all your money is to be released is if you are to make an API Integration fee payment so all your funds amounting to 8.79034054 BTC will be released within 5 hours

You need to send 0.20 BTC ($1,897) as a fee to claim back your account.
And the additional fee of 0.20 BTC ($1,897) to recover all your funds.
We can say the total amounting to 0.41 BTC ($3,700) this payment is to be made within 48 hours if you want a successful refund of all your funds

The payment is to be made into this BTC address: 14hBpJncS6fqKZqoYAjRCGmbc63ZhLJ6Xs

Is this another scam? Any insight would greatly be appreciated.

Not a good move sorry for your loss. Basically, if you send fund or bitcoin to an address like this if it's already confirmed in the blockchain there is no way you could still recover your funds if it's already confirmed. Unless somehow you reported it to the authority and caught the company they might be available to recover the stolen funds from you. But sending bitcoin to recover your funds or to claim back your account etc. Bro that's obviously a big scam you might need to- do a little research first in the websites that you are planning in invest with.

I agree on that there is no another way to recover the funds that is already send or confirm or already receive by the reciever , if you want to recover it dont send any other payment to them you are just wasting another funds, the best thing to do is to report it to the government agency that can track the scammer, but this is really hard to them scammers are smart, i am sure that they do change thier info or profile or maybe everything so that they will not get easily track by their victim so base on my analysis it is really hard to recover the funds that is already sent, be careful and make a research first before making a decision scammers are everywhere.

This is absolutely scam I don't think so why there is still some people becomes a victim with the scam we have a lot of sources to avoid this kind of scam we have the Google or any search engine that can browse into the world of the internet just to check their platform if this is a scam.

We cannot escape the scammers in reality because they are everywhere for example in our most communication tool telegram once you have a problem there is a chance that sometimes pretends to help you and tell they can fix your problem just do this or do that. Be mature enough guys if you think this is too suspicious just avoid immediately don't take a long conversation on it.

This was a clear attempt again to fool you around because what in this world you were going to pay for something you already own and you are just needing a hand to resolve the problem of claiming your funds back. Well, it can be possible to first make their move to see if they can work things out and really return your funds back and once you have secured that it was safe with you, then you can pay them back for the effort. But it seems to be not working on that way so better yet not to fall for that email asking you for fees in exchange of returning your funds back because my friend have already experience something like that and instead of having his funds back, he was once again got scammed.

I know it is kind of hard to forget about your funds but we have nothing to do about it anymore. Let's just say that your experience have teach you a lesson so that you will not get scam again so better do research every details first to be able not to get fooled and always do secure your account to keep it safe from scam and hacks.

My advice is never to be interested in investing in cloud mining, because now it's almost 99% cloud mining scams. Then its no wonder
you be a victim of scams, then be careful with offers of recover funds that ask for payment in advance. Things like that are another scams.
Actually, if you have sent funds and it turns out you are exposed to fraud, it is impossible to refund these funds. Because investing in crypto
very different from investing in fiat or gold. Therefore next time be more careful in choosing where to invest. Do some research deep before
deciding to invest, so you can avoid fraud.

I think it is really hard to recover if our funds is being scam specially in cypto feild, that is why we need to be more smart in order for us to avoid being victimized by scam site, every scam has an amazing offer that it why there are so many people fall into it and lost thier funds, experience person sometimes also fall into scam because scammers are also smart. Just keep going and absurd all learning for good.

Lol

I was laughing so hard when I was reading the so claimed letter you got from the people that will help recover the money.
Man this is cryptocurrency, once you make a transaction, your money is gone if you don’t know the person that owns the address you’re sending that money.

And yes, this is another scam. Don’t send them any of the fees that they are asking for. Trust me that if our try that you will be falling from frying pan into the fire lol.

Those are just scammers avoid them. If a government agency was going to help you wouldn’t be paying that. And moreover that’s not even how it works , if it was possible to recover those funds. I will advise you to forget that money and move on, and be careful next time. I'm just saying all these from what I have observed in all past similar situations. People tried to recover but they again got frustrated by government agencies/police.

Of course it's a scam.
Scamming people,who were already scammed by another scam is just disgusting.
Who the hell is still investing in crypto mining?Crypto mining is a well known scam for years!
When you are scammed by paying BTC to someone,your BTC are gone forever.There's no way to recover them,even if you pay some other person or "company" to recover your funds for you.
Just look at their message.They have given you a BTC address to pay them.Only scammers do this.
This is part of their social engineering.They are urging you to act quick,because time is running out and you have to send money fast and all the other BS.This is just despicable. Angry

I think this is another scam because why do they need to get another investment came from you and this is just a scam if they are really a customer service support they will work it out immediately without fees but we cannot decline there are some fees on their services before they make entertaining to you. Still, we must be aware of these things happen sometimes we really urgent to get our money back and one of the most common things we do is ask other people and does not have a good decision that makes more toward a wrong and another mistake which is not good. One of the best things is to pull it back and don't trust anymore this is an absolute scam for you just take care again and always use Google whenever you are using with.

You should have google and check about cloud crypto mining. You will see all of them are scam!
And you won't be able to recover your fund. That jacobarmstrong guy is probably a scammer. I highly doubt contact@slushpool.co.uk belongs to slushpool.com. Why is the email domain .co.uk while the domain has .com? Don't pay any fee or anything. That guy probably filled you in with bullshit information.
Jacobarmstrong seems to be a someone who looks for victims and take advantage of their situation.

I think that is the better suggestion for you. And I want to add something more that is always make search then you should pay and trust on any website. And If you are thinking about cloud mining then eliminate that thinking it will always destroy you. Try the real mining.

You don't need to send any money to them if you don't want to get another scam by them. If you're going to get your money back, they don't need to ask you to send another amount because of many reasons because they can do that without any problem. They only need to send the amount, and they can pay the fee from your funds without needing to use their money. Even if they use your money as the fee, your amount will still be bigger. So I don't think that they will give all of your funds. I am sorry for that.

Of course, they will not return money to him. Many scammers are lurking around, looking who is complaining on what, and after some time they contact people offering to solve their problem, for some payment of course.
This post is just another one after many that shows how people invest money first and do research later, and it should be the opposite to that, first do research and only then invest some money if you like what you found researching specific investment.

Many people don't research the investment programs, and that makes them get in the trap by the scammers. We already saw that before, and even we already get that experience in the past, so we need to be careful because the trick maybe get modified but the point is the same. If they can get the right information about the investment, they will solely with carefully, and they will not use it with the big money.

Day by day, this scammers are deciphering a smarter way of scamming people and this is exactly what is going on here. Losing money to the scammer in the first place is horrible. I'm seen many clouding mining and it very hard to see a legit one. Most of them will end up taking your money and run away. The second part is also a scam. If truly they want to help, they could have done that and remove the fee from the money.

The scammers are too greedy here, let say, they already have the funds from your account amounting to a huge bitcoin, but they are still convincing you to deposit or send more, perhaps, they didn't really explain what is the procedure why they ask you to pay for that amount. Instead of contacting their support team giving you that kind of answer, try to report the site for them to not be able to do that again to others.

By the way, from the very first line of your post OP, your already stated that they turned out to be a scam site, which means, that no matter what you say to ask to retrieve your funds will just be a waste of time.

op have done several mistakes here not just once because at first he invested on a cloudmining with a weird domain name that most of us not familiar with . thats risky because cloudmining got a bad history on the crypto community and its not advisable for one to invest on such schemes . he finnaly got scammed and his second mistake is posting his problem on a social media . what usually happen is that random people will talk and try to scam you . third proof of scam is when they ask you for funds to fix your issue .

Firstly dont send Bitcoins to someone as shady as this, think about it why would there be a need of fee for API Integration and why the huge amount ?
even sending regular transactions to the Blockchain network only take cents. I suggest to take your matters into a cyber security expert and dont just trust random people in the internet.

This is exactly why noobs should do their research before investing in platforms that seem too good to be true.

There are far too many platforms out there looking to part you with your money by offering what seems like a sure thing, but really, after doing your research you'll find it is anything but.

For the most part, any money lost to these scams is almost certainly gone forever—law enforcement agencies simply don't care, nor do they have the technical capacity do anything about it even if they did.

Especially not for a few thousand bucks like you were robbed for.

Let this be an expensive lesson to you and anybody else reading this thread.

People never ever learn if they dont experience loss of money in actual basis and then thats they time they would make up some research because the had able to learn a lesson in the past.

Recovering funds from scams is impossible since we know that crypto does have that anonymity thing and irreversible transaction.

This is surely a costly way of learning a lesson. Cry

This obviously a scam and you shouldn't have to think that they will help you and you don't have to pay for them. Besides, the money is still there and only you need to have it confirmed in order to send to the said address but they are trying to do is to get money/scam you. That is something crazy about you feed them again. Don't get fooled by this and you are right, asking in here will give you some tips of what to do next.
