I recently signed up on a site called Xanory.com because they had a promo code offering 0.21 BTC upon registration. I was pretty excited to see the balance appear in my account, but when I tried to withdraw, it said I needed to deposit 0.0025 BTC to activate withdrawals.
I followed their instructions and deposited the amount, but now it says I need to upgrade my account by depositing another 0.01 BTC before I can withdraw anything. I’m feeling pretty stuck and unsure what to do next.
This is a classic "drainage" scheme. Firstly, they create a "promo" ad saying that when you sign up, they will credit you a huge amount. Of course, this is totally fake because 1- nobody will ever give you 0.21
BTC for a sign-up, and 2- it's different to see any amount on a site, than having it in your pocket/ wallet.
Unfortunately, if you fall into this trap of them like you did, they ask you to deposit a small amount based on the amount that they "credited" you. You fall again in their second trap and this will continue for as long as you deposit your money. They never send you anything, no matter e-mails or messages you send to them and of course, no matter how much you deposit. Sorry to say it, but any money there is long gone...
