can you please check this wallet because it wont allow me to send funds. the reason is the minimum amount of eth to be send for a transaction is gradually increased as the same time my balance increases to i cannot send any payments of transfer any funds. here is the site.
https://www.first-eth.info/   as a i reported it on the customer support someone replied which i think is a bot since the grammar is way off.
I think I may have been scammed by this wallet. but i hope they just experiencing some technical problems. who has the same wallet as me? do you have the same problem as i do?

EDIT: if i post in the wrong section feel free to notify me guys and tell me where should i post this.

Their domain was registered only about two weeks ago and they only bothered to register the domain for one year, which implies that they're keeping the costs of running their scam site to an absolute minimum.

The address and email on their whois information doesn't match the address and email on the "Contact Us" page of their site.  Also, the address on their "Contact Us" information hardly looks like the office of a professional company that has had millions of ETH transactions sent from it like they claim they have.

There are also clear typos, so it looks very much like a lazy site.  I signed up with fake info, and it says "Totala balance" in the wallet, as well as "Registration Successfully" when you sign up.

On their settings, you have a language option, but the only language you can actually choose is English.

So yeah, looks like you've been scammed.  If you want an online Ether wallet, try MyEtherWallet (and make sure to avoid phishing sites - the real domain is myetherwallet.com and check it carefully).

IT SUCKS  Cry Cry Cry  I just lost 4 dollars to them. the 4 dollars which I worked hard for. I know it's not that big but the time I spend and effort earning that really hurts my feelings. I registered on that site because when i search for ethereum wallet in a hurry the first thing that appeared on the list (it is a google add). is that site.
is it OK for google to allow scam sites like that to advertise?

I am sorry for your loss. I really believe keeping your money on a Gambling website like Fortunejack is safer than these new wallets opening up. Even Xapo disappointed many people. Well reporting it to Google will get than website blacklisted but they won't give you any money. Harsh as it may sounds, Google ads only act as third party and won't take liabilities for your transactions.

I know the feeling, it's not the money, it's the time and effort and sometimes even emotional investment that we lose to these things. Money you can make some more, but you can't make time. That being said, report them and also make the $4 a lesson and habit of never clicking the Google ads. Why? they don't bring anything good to the universe. Why? you only make rich Google richer than it is and even if you DO get on a legit website, the fact that they have to pay big bucks for your click means they have to cover their expenses by making their product/service more expensive and guess who pays for that? That's right, YOU.

Don't click the ads, folks!
