KRAZY! Was just sent $24000 by a total stranger. Need help!

Guys very weird thing happened to me.

I have all these scamsters sending me all these messages on telegram saying Hi’ which I immediately block and report for spam but for some reason I replied back to this guy from China who asked me if he could send me 1.75BTC initially, withdraw all apart from 0.1BTC as my payment and then send it to him somehow since the Chinese government doesnt allow them to do so.

I said yes and then he asked if he could trust me to which I replied that I’m a huge believer in long-term relationships and familiar mouth to mouth marketing which always yield way more returns in the long term than short term. Then we got to work…

He asked me to open a wallet on cointiply.net which I did and then he sent me 1.25BTC (24000$$$$$) earlier today. When I tried to withdraw I was asked that by EU law that I need to deposit at least 0.015BTC first, to which he begged me to sort it out and then he would pay me 0.15BTC instead lol

So I’m looking for two things atm:

  1. Is there a tricky scam thing going on in this situation that Im not aware of?

  2. What’s a legit source to buy Bitcoin nice and easy?

It might be nice if you didn’t use that description of the scammers who contact you.

what cdo you mean bra?

Instead of using derogatory terms you can say Pakistani, or East Indian.

And yes, this screams scam, get out now.

kinda sketchy this cointiply.net website…

You had better work it out quickly. Posts with negative racist terms are likely to be reported. Posters who keep using them may get banned.

paki is short for pakistani, same as brit for brittish or aussie for australian or tomor for tomorrow not derogatory nor racist at all, this is ridiculous to think so…back to our topic… how can i verify the legitimacy of cointiply.net?

first:do you really think some stranger will send you 25 mango like this?
second do you really think he gonna pay you 10 times the amount you paid to send him back his money?
at a moment you have to be realist. normally these questions should have answered to many of your questions and should have helped you to decide what to do.

when its too beatiful,run away. now just block him and dont go back to you cointiply account

It definitely sounds too good to be true. Never will a stranger give you money for free.

Especially on the internet.

no it wasnt.he just said the nationality of the scammer by using a short-word , thats it
this is just finding some excuses to impose the insane cosmopolitan beta male ideology.
if you want to live in a dictature bisounours ideology, go to make your own country. USA, France and all europe/america are lands of Liberties

Whichever personns who dont like liberties, he should go elsewhere. alright. this is it

And you know for sure this scammer was from Pakistan? That’s what he said, but I’m not so sure he really knows this.

off topic must be stopped

and? what is the problem?

snowflakes triggered :joy: :joy: :100: :+1: :raising_hand_man: :scream: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: :heart_eyes:**

As much as you keep linking the site I’m almost wondering if you’re promoting it :sweat_smile:

Where have you been for the past four decades? France? Gendarmarie? Libertarian? I am not sure you know the meaning of the word. BTW, it is not meant to be spiteful to call a French person a frog, like calling an English buy a Limey. But other terms ARE spiteful, and this was one of them. I used to be a school governor, and I used to tell the pupils that to have their rights, they must also accept their responsibilities, and that means you can do what you please provided it does not hurt another person. It seems it is not only young adults that need this explained to them.

It a scam don’t send them, if you do you gonna loose

Possibly related to illegitimate funds being laundered. Be careful. Ignorance of the source and purpose is not likely to be reasonable defence in the event of a possible criminal investigation.

Hi Duc,
If I have offended you then please accept my apology. I am not familiar with French law, but in the UK, what you have posted on a public forum is hate speech and inciting racial hatred.
That is a criminal offence in the UK. I also believe that is European law, so I ask you please to retract and remove your unlawful posts. They offend me.

No sir. I let it conforming to the present law about the Freedom of speech which is contain at the article 10 and 11 of the DDHC of 1789 (in total respect with the human rights)

Thanks to respect my rights.
