<p>I had a gentleman contact me about mining using his miner through his so called company. If the company created the wallet using my email and then I receive an email to verify the wallet has been made but did not provide my user id or password can the company still access my wallet at any time without this information </p>

**This 100% sounds like a scam to me.** Consider that wallet compromised, do not send any BTC to it. Create a new wallet for any future bitcoin transactions you do.
