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.
