Please noted:
Scammers will never give back your money, they will precisely want to take your money again, again and again.
So, be careful another scamming is coming to you. Never believe in any party or person that will help you to get back your money to you if they ask some funds to do it. It is absolutely another scam.
If you're scammed, let it go because you may not get it back. Just make it is a lesson to be more careful when investing and also putting your money.

This is very true. These scammers are clearly looking for an opportunity to get more of your money. The only thing I suppose the op can try to do is play dumb but promise to send the money if they provide their personal data for some made-up reason. Then if the op manages to see some legal info, the op can try suing them and there is perhaps a chance of getting the money back. But it's all very dependent of the context and most likely not worth the effort. Plus, of course, it will be associated with additional expenses like lawyer consultation fees, court fees etc. So the most logical solution is probably to just let it go and learn a valuable lesson not to fall for scam.

It is once again a scam and this is where they hooked you, when you said.. "I posted on Instagram about my ordeal" ...

A lot of these scammers lurk around these platforms looking for people who got scammed and they know once people was scammed, they are easy targets for the next scam. They built a elaborate story on how they will be able to help you and then they start asking for recovery fees (because they say they are going to use a lot of hashing power to recover those coins)

The truth is, once the transfer of those bitcoins are done and several confirmations has been received, no mining pool can recover those bitcoins without the whole Blockchain being rolled back and that will never happen. Wink

It looks like another scam again, be careful with that, do not fall for the trap again, you should know your lesson, you shouldn't give your fund to any website that is now well known by many people. You had already lost your 8BTC which is too much, that is a really big amount of money so you should be more careful when releasing your money again. There are many scammers in this virtual world, there are also many clone websites that is really like an original website so the best thing to do with that is not to rt it unless you are really sure that it is legit, you may do some research to know whether it is legit or not.

What the heck was that! They are doubling scam you, bro. It is an obvious act that they are trying to get your weakness (your eagerness to get back your btc) to make you fall again on them! They are trying to make you feel the urge to get the 8 btc that they falsely say. Do you wanna believe that you really have that 8 btc and it was saved? This is hilarious, mate. If you will send .2 twice just for fee, will it guarantee you to get it? It's probably not.

The amount they are asking for you to recover the funds stolen is more than your funds so that makes sense that it is a scam and I can think of reasons why you should not fall for that but the obvious is right there so make sure to do your part and report these scumbags, I am sorry for the funds that you lost and hope that you will not lose your faith in crypto because everyone can start over.

The wallet belongs to Luno and i have reported the user and hopefully we will get a reply from them and he as collected over 7 bitcoin and still holding 1.7 bitcoin in the wallet.

How do you know who the wallet belongs to and how much is in it.

The email address should be tied to the domain http://www.slushpool.co.uk/, which points to an empty wordpress blog.

Even the domain will give you this prior warning if you have additional browser extension installed, what more if someone invested in that particular website Sad

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.

One thing we must remember, we cannot recover the bitcoin that we invest in scams sites. So it's clear to me what @ _jacob.armstrong
promised about recovering your lost funds is a lie. You will be used to be cheated again. Be careful of people who are not familiar, then
offer help by asking for payment. I am very sure that such a thing scams.

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

Social media and telegram groups are filled with scammers and they are waiting for people who post doubt about lost coins or when your coins are stuck in the exchange and the audacity to cook up a story that could scam innocent people who are not aware of these situation.

I just hope that the OP posted here but the reality is that he already sent the additional funds that the scammer has said to him. This is an obvious scam attempt from a newbie investor like you. Better make a research first before investing. At first glance, I already see the website as a scam site.

How ridiculous it was. You have to send more BTC in order to get back your fund from them( pretending to be in the cloud crypto) and recover your account? They would like to scam you again. It is really a big mistake for you if you will send them just for that and for sure, they won't give back your money (including your activation fee).

Maybe I should have to let go of it and forget. That was a big scam and we can't think they'll be good for you, after all, and then give back your money.
This will serve as a warning for the others and be careful into nice offerings and fake sites because this will compromise accounts once they got you.

I hope the OP will not make a mistake of sending again money to these scammers. If they are legit, they may just ask for your credentials that you have given on the site and if it really corresponds to what they have, they will processed it. But asking more money? Please don't fall about this tactic, that's an old trick by scammers.

Someone from the forum also asked about this site and most users replied that this is indeed a scam site. This was more than a year ago.

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.

I think people need to realize that if someone has such a magical way of recovering your funds they won't come out of nowhere and ask you if you want to recover your money. First of all you were a complete noob when you investing in some cloud mining pool as I can see. Now the people from the pool might have already used their reserves and are now taking that route once again. If you really want to trust them with something make some smart contract arrangement like escrow or something. 99% it's a scam none of their words make any sense but if you are even 1% hopeful then better ask them if they would accept some escrow. If they don't just drop the plan altogether.

the audacity they have! trying to scam you again after getting scammed your investment getting scammed. it's good that you came to this forum when you are in doubt about something that has something to do with cryptocurrency since the members of this from are willing to warn or verify if a website you're interested of investing is a scam site or not (but most of them are). it is just unfortunate that you didn't ask first when you were deciding to invest on a project last year.

Anyone who offers to retrieve hacked or stolen coins is a scammer themselves, there's simply no way to do so unless you can somehow get the private key of a scammer, which is nearly impossible. Even a good private investigator won't be able to do anything most of the time, especially since the scammers can be anywhere in the world. A tiny chance to see your coins again exists if the scammers get caught be law enforcement and the coins are retrieved by them.

Why would slushpool.com a bitcoin mining pool contact you on recovering your funds stolen by a scam site?
The Slushpool.com domain has been in existence since 2013 so the email address the scammer gave you is definitely not from their support.

The said email address was created just in April this year with the purpose of scamming people

Don't fall for it! Even a quick search for the email address suggests that it is not from slushpool.
And as already mentioned here, there are also enough inconsistencies when checking the address...
