user99979: I accidently transferred BTC to a non existing wallet. The wallet is now being created and I have to activate and verify it. To activate and verify I have to deposit 4,9 BTC. Is that how it works? Why do I have to deposit so much BTC? There are already 7,3 BTC on that wallet when it is created.

user23146: You are being scammed! Don't send any BTC to them.
Proper Bitcoin wallets are generated on your computer / phone, they contain bunch of private keys, each of one has corresponding address, to which you or others can send BTC. There is no concept of "activation" in Bitcoin.
If you accidentally transferred BTC to a wrong address, either it's from somebody else's wallet, then he can send you BTC back (if he wants to), or, it is possible to send BTC to addresses to which nobody has private keys and such bitcoins are most likely gone forever, it is practically impossible to recover them.

user7272: You are almost certainly being scammed.
Bitcoin wallets do not require activation.
In any case, even if you were dealing with some entity that does require verification for using their services, the amount you claim is stored with them exceeds the amount they are asking for - a sane, legitimate business would just charge the amount against what they already have and send you the balance.
Do not send any more funds to these people.
