<p>When I asked him to give me the customer support info he was very stand-offish. Said the way he converted was proprietary. I said I dont care how he did it... I want to make sure this &quot;Customer support&quot; is real.

thanks!

Does this answer your question? [Is it normal to be asked for an advance fee on a withdrawal?](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/103891/is-it-normal-to-be-asked-for-an-advance-fee-on-a-withdrawal). The person you entrusted your money to seems to be talking nonsense. There are no activation fees. I am certain you have been scammed. Any money you sent is stolen. You can report this to local police but you will almost certainly never get any of your money back.

Thats what I was thinking. If there is some place that is asking for some fee (I know there are mining fees of some sort with the blockchain) they should be able to tell me who is asking so I could verify. They refuse to tell me. They are also pressing pretty hard for a commission.  When I asked why they just didnt withdraw that before sending my BTC they said they forgot. Oh well... lesson learned. Thanks!

Do Bitcoin deposits happen in 3 phases?

I recently had someone convert my sumcoin and said they were going to send to my Bitcoin wallet. I noticed that about $150 (of the $57,000) came through. He said that deposits of that size occur in 3 phases. I got the first two.
