<p>Looks like you give someone your bitcoin login which is the worse thing you can do. Unless you know that person and can really be trusted, this could be a type of scam. Try to withdraw all your money and if you can't mean he got all your money.</p>

<p>Never invest with random peoples/website &lt;= A very very high risk</p>

Btw he did lie to you, bitcoin mining is when you solve hashes and earn the profit based on how much your hash is (pool mining)

<p>Pls, someone introduce Bitcoin mining to me, that I will be receiving 50% of money invested after 6hrs. He has me to pay him in order to fund my wallet. I transfer money to him,  he ask for my wallet ID and password. I refuse in the first instance but he said he want to connect my wallet to mining. The password was released. He funded the account. It reaches 7-8 hrs I didn't see any increase in my balance till the following day. I now decided to withdraw my money back. It then I noticed that there is imported Bitcoin address requesting for private key. I later click on menu to click on addresses  ,I saw archived address again...
Pls, what can I do to  receive my money?
I have changed my password. And I have my recovery phrase with me.
How can I remove imported address and private key. And the archive Bitcoin address.</p>
