No haven't given them any sensitive info. Yeah I figured it seems pretty scammy, is there any way to tell if it's legit or not? $8k is a fair amount of money.

It's 100% a scam, if they were going to send you free money they would just send it directly rather than ask you to pay a "withdraw fee" or whatever. >$8k USD sign up bonus is a little unreasonable anyways :)

<h3>It's a scam.</h3>

It is very likely that Justin Hance is an invented name and that any photos are stock photos of models / actors taken from a photo-agency site like Alamy or Shutterstock or from photos supplied with photo-editing software such as Photoshop etc.

<p>I was sent a discord message with an invitation to an exchange called <a href="https://doxxwallet.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">www.doxxwallet.com</a>. They offered me 0.21 bitcoin as a joining bonus, and I created the account and according to them do indeed have a wallet with .21 bitcoin. In order to withdraw the bitcoin, I have to transfer to the website 0.006 bitcoin and then I can withdraw the entire balance.</p>
<p>This sounds pretty scammy, but I wanted to see if anyone else had heard of them or had a way to verify that this website is legitimate? I have an image of the message I received below.</p>

As always with these things; if someone offers you free money, but you have to pay first to obtain it? It's a scam. Otherwise, they could just deduct the required fees from the money you'd get. It doesn't matter if it's a Nigerian inheritance in USD, or if it's bitcoin. You pay the "fee", and then you never get your promised money.

I was sent a discord message with an invitation to an exchange called [www.doxxwallet.com](https://doxxwallet.com). They offered me 0.21 bitcoin as a joining bonus, and I created the account and according to them do indeed have a wallet with .21 bitcoin. In order to withdraw the bitcoin, I have to transfer to the website 0.006 bitcoin and then I can withdraw the entire balance.
