please for the sake of all that is Holy do not give them this 'gas money'
Else you will say good bye to that £2750 and then they will ask for more to recoup that and the 'fictional' ETH value.....

OP, are you willing to tell how much you've lost so far?

Anyway, confirming what others say, it's another scam.

How is this even a question? It's such an old classic scam you could probably get it valued on Antiques Roadshow.

Yep.

OP, just consider the amount you invested, or rather spent, at the outset. Write it off. That's the end of your loss and you can move on older and wiser.

Well they do know their targets.

If you look for around Getfinancial there's lots of fake reviews & stuff promoting scammers who'll 'help you get your money back'. Obviously it's a rich seam.
