Trade your crypto on a legit exchange that supports GBP. Once you make a trade, the money goes to your bank once you enter your details. Just be careful with which exchange you use, do your research.

If you have crypto, just go for P2P on any exchange. Pick a reliable vendor, but make sure the cash is in your bank before sending your crypto. Scammers are everywhere!

Thanks for the input! So a bit of backstory: I got into crypto in 2019 after talking to someone who seemed legit. Back then, bank interest rates were low. Thought I’d invest and make money. Big mistake.

Sounds like you fell for a scam. Anyone reaching out to help you is likely just after your cash. You should’ve just bought Bitcoin directly. Now, you might not see that money again.

Totally agree here. Scammers play on easy money. It’s a trap for sure.

Yup, it's a scam. You probably never owned any Bitcoin. They’ve been taking your money all along. Just cut ties and be careful moving forward.

You can cash out through local or international exchanges like Binance. They have a P2P feature that works for GBP. Local ones might be better since you're in the UK.

If you don’t have your private keys, you’re in trouble. No one’s gonna help you out of kindness. Remember, there’s no easy route to wealth.

Before making any transaction, stay cautious. There are tons of scammers out there. Make sure the exchange you’re using is reputable.

Is this your first trade or are you hunting for new methods? Your goal sounds a bit vague, like you might be looking to scam someone here.

Yep, those scammers won’t let you go. They see you as an easy target. That lady? Probably one of them.

Not sure if OP is genuine or another scammer. Everyone online is suspect now, and new scam techniques pop up daily.

I’m starting to think this lady was part of a scam. She had access to my computer in 2019. I should’ve been more aware. Anyone getting into crypto needs to do serious homework.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Many scams target people who don't know much about crypto. Always question the too-good-to-be-true offers.

Did you even check the other replies? All signs point to a scam ring. You should run a check on your device, too.

Yeah, they probably accessed your PC remotely. Better do a clean install of your OS and watch out for any spam links.

Looks like OP might’ve been duped by a scam site. Sending money to unknown people is always a risk.

Bottom line: never trust anyone online. Even if you know someone, make sure you really know them before doing any financial deals.

Yeah, if you’re not careful, you can lose everything. Always protect your assets and be skeptical of strangers.
