Friend have been contacted regarding investments for validating(staking?) on the ethereum network. They ask for ethereum for this. The website is called safetyholds(.)com and is claiming to be backed by "Golden Breed Capital PTR LTD". Friend have also sent eth and is asked to send more, but can't withdraw what's been sent to the "safetyhold" wallet.

Any ideas what could be done in this situation? Or if anyone knows if it's an legit actor?
