Unfortunately it’s likely your funds are gone…
Here’s probably what happened:
The custom network instructions are probably a tactic used to create the illusion of legitimate activity in your wallet and manipulate transactions in a controlled environment, which is not part of the genuine Bitcoin (or ETH) network.
The asset labeled “BTC” in your wallet is likely not real Bitcoin, but a custom token designed to mimic Bitcoin. Its non-transferability suggests it’s a fake asset, created to trick you into believing you’ve received actual btc…
And lastly, the instructions to switch between addresses and modify network settings are likely designed to confuse you and create a false sense of technical necessity. The complexity and the false promise of unlocking funds are also tactics to prolong the scam and keep getting you to pay fees.
Do you mind sharing the website? I’d be curious to take a look at this myself.
Either way, best thing to do is stop engaging altogether. Red flag #1 is always “pay us a little money so you can get a lot of money”. I have close friends who have fallen for stuff like this, it can be pretty convincing sometimes. Sorry that happened to ya.
Have a few sats back on me, hope you didn’t lose too much.

Thanks for your kind words. I made peace of the funds being gone. I know some others that got completely ruined and had to declare bankruptcy
