Ripple-Cloud Wallet and their XRP giveaway

[Phil_Ip]

Hi all! long time lurker but figured Id jump in with a question.

I recently won an 500 XRP giveaway by ripple-cloud.com however, the catch with this give away is that it is a "deposit bonus" of 20%  (up to 500 XRP) on top of whatever I deposit into their wallet. I activated the wallet itself no problem and it seems legit but I am worried about depositing a good chunk of XRP into the wallet, just to claim the bonus, only to see it go poof .

Does anyone have experience with ripple-cloud's wallet and are they a legitimate operation?

Seems scamish.

Ripple does not encourage and actively prevents others using their brand. I am also not sure how the wallet can be in the 'cloud' as the keys are kept on rledger...

It seems like any company offering 'free' XRP should be treated with suspicion IMHO. I wouldn't do it, personally.

Thanks for your input! My gut was telling me it felt off, unfortunately at the time of activating the wallet they hadn't said it was a "Deposit Bonus"  so I thought they would just be sending me 500 XRP after activating the wallet.

On another note, when I logged into the account today to see if I could pull out the 5 extra XRP I had put in there was a random extra 20 XRP in there. I am trying to pull out but the request has been "in progress" for an hour or so now. Well see, maybe I can just make it a wash!
