-snip- .......I paid the fee to the website that I chose to receive bitcoins.
Let me guess, that website "
generated" 1BTC for you and you have to send 0.005BTC as a "
transaction fee" to claim it, then you've sent them the said amount; Am I correct?
And in case this is the real situation then OP is a victim of just another creative scam still ongoing victimizing many innocent, eager and uninformed newbies to the world of cryptocurrency and scams. The offer can really be enticing. Just imagine getting something out of thin air and all you have to spend to get is too little relative to what possible one can receive. Oh, this is just appealing to our greed and when there is greed there is the risk of losing money. So we have to beware and hope this is not case here.
