I have received from a platform to my Coinbase Wallet X amount of "Tether USD", I received to my email a contract from Etherscan saying that I need to pay the 12% of that X amount to be able to withdrawn the total capital. This 12% must be send in Ethereum to the sender wallet. They say "case despriction: legalization, withdraw". I add that I am from Europe.

In my Coinbase Wallet it shows this X amount bellow "cripto", but I still have 0.00 dollars to use.

I don´t understand why are they asking me to pay that 12%!? Does anyone know if it is a scam or how to solve this without having to pay 12%?

why would a block explorer be requesting you pay any money lol. on the flip side you can USE a block explorer to actually see what is ON your address :'D

if you have a withdrawal issue take it up with Coinbase. ignore anyone contacting you they are scammers. blockchain is decentralized technical protocol it doesn't extort money from you to do anything it just works. if you sent shit to an address that shit will be on that address. it's that simple.

you need to spend time figuring out why you are this gullible or even consider what they are saying... it's because you have no idea how blockchain works, but are using it and investing in it, this makes you an easy victim.

please just use common sense and logic more. every withdrawal has a transaction hash which shows you... exactly where your funds are and how they got there.

you literally just said your crypto didn't show in your coinbase wallet but it shows under crypto in coin base wallet? so you're going to pay someone money to give you what's already on your fucking wallet??? please explain your logic here.

if the USDT is ON your wallet, who cares if the API tells you what value it has in USD that's only an estimate ANYWAY, if the shit is ON your wallet, then it is ON your wallet. go swap it for peace of mind.... idk. PEBKAC
