Idk if this is even the correct subreddit but this man, allegedly, sent my friend $1500 in bitcoin but in order to be able to move the money to cashapp, it’s saying she has to deposit $150 to “verify her bank” in order to get it. I mean idk but that sounds weird to me. Usually when stuff verifies it’s like $1. Is this a scam? The website is vestipay
Is my friend being scammed

Scam. Don’t deposit or send anyone money and DONT OPEN PMS here either. The scammers are already targeting you
100% scam, it’s called ‘Pig slaughtering’
Yep it’s a scam called pig butchering
Yep it’s a scam called pig murdering
9000% a scam. Nothing has been sent, and the “fee” is just straight robbing him without a pistol.

Thats a very common scam called advanced fee fraud we discuss in the pinned FAQ

verification is free … what you are thinking of is when an exchange makes 2 temp micro **deposits** under 1 usd that fall off for linking a bank account manually
Where is the common sense these days?

Anything g over $1 for a verification amount is a scam.. usually its like 17 cents or something like that
