For Registering this website XXXX XXXX and his Assistant XXXX helped me to set up the account and after that for recharging the account XXXX and his XXXX XXXX asked to set up Kraken Wallet ( https : //www.kraken.com/sign-in ). 

After setting up Kraken wallet i started adding money in Kraken Wallet and brought USDT ( Tether ) coins and from there it is transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX account with receiving address : XXXX and same is used to transfer the amount from Kraken Wallet to XXXX XXXX XXXX website.
