More, I have uploaded to the site my both ID's - Israeli and French though they keep on asking 0.015 for insurance.

https://genercrypto.com/terms/Nothing in regards to the withdrawal without paying for membership .
Nothing in regards to the withdrawal without depositing 0.05 btc for confirming external wallet.
in regards to the withdrawal without insurance .
All the above terms are hidden from the customers and there is no way to learn about without trying to withdraw, then a small popup appears asking the above.
I advise you to not deal with CryptoGener.com Exchange, this is a scammer exchange that by chance succeeded to stay online for 2 y's.
This is the first step I am taking against them followed by a complaint at the:
1 - FBI
2 - Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at
