Hi
I am new to this forum. I have been investigating bitcoins and crypto in general. Yesterday I was contacted by someone on FB . She said she managed to get details of a blockchain account with lots of bitcoins some 2000 coins!

I logged into blockchain with the details given and yes there is was a was wallet (watch only) linked to blockchain account which has over 2000 coins.

Here's the catch the blockchain wallet has 0btc she says I should transfer 0.05 btc to blockchain wallet and then I will be able to use the private key of the attached wallet.

I already tried the private key she sent and obviously it does not part with wallet when trying to transfer btc. She claims that once I transfer 0.05 btc to the blockchain wallet then we can withdraw from the attached wallet as the private key will work. But I highly doubt this!

What do you guys think this is some sort of a new scam? Or new to me?
I am for sure not doing this. Yes I want money but I hate scams! My knowledge in the area is little right now. If you think this is not a scam let me know. And beware if this is a scam then it's a new one for sure.

Thanks for your replies people!
I realized it's a scam and did not go ahead with it!
 
2000 bitcoins and all you have to do is pay 0.5 bitcoins???? Come on OP do it, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, that "girl" is obviously dumb, you will become an overnight multi millionaire and she will only receive 200 dollars.

General rule of life - if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

And this is definitely a scam.

Because why would someone effectively sell $8million to you for $200???
 
legit go for it, just remember to send me 10% for good advice
 
Whatever its scam or not. Put yourself at the place of someone. and think you have $2000 in your wallet and someone steal it. How will you feel? then why we do same with others? second thing. if she can give you $2000 in 0.005, then why don't she just withdraw 2000 for herself . lmao
