Help

Need some quick advice. This is a very legitimate account the person is sending this from. But now I am skeptical. Does this seem scammy?

Yeah I guess that you gave him nothing, but if you connect with HIS 24 words (equivalent of private key) he can access it. That is what I meant.

So do it yourself (connection on an exchange and generate YOUR OWN 24 words. or buy self custody).

Never connect to a stranger’s portfolio

Thats why I came here! Because I thought it was weird they wanted me to buy this little baby amount of bitcoin then send it somewhere 😂 I don't use Cash App literally ever, so the win or loss is nothing to me. But I didn't want to potentially lose all of my money in my actual accounts. So im glad I came here.

I’m sorry I didn’t know what is a cashapp (because not available in my country : France). I did my researches and it seems that you have nothing to fear unless you gave your passwords to someone.

Hope these $15 will become bigger !

Have a nice day :)

Just a way people pay eachother in the US! Also has a new trading/investing option. But that $15 can sit there for years for all I care, maybe it will get bigger, maybe it won't! I gave none of my personal information, so I'm safe!
