Is a 'litigation hold' fee from 'Action Refund' legit or just another scam to get more money?
Hey everyone, I'm feeling really stupid right now. Back in December, I lost about $7,000 to a crypto investment scam. I was devastated, obviously. A few weeks ago, 'Action Refund' contacted me, saying they could help. They sounded really professional, had a decent website, and honestly, I was desperate. I paid them a 'retainer' fee, about $1,500, to start the process. They've been sending me updates, saying they've identified the scammers' wallets and everything. But now, they're asking for another $2,500 for something they call a 'litigation hold' fee, saying it's crucial to freeze the scammers' assets before they can move the funds. My gut is screaming scam again, but I really want to believe them. Has anyone heard of this 'litigation hold' fee? Is this a standard thing for fund recovery, or am I being played for a fool twice?
A company called 'Action Refund' wants an 'advance tax payment' – is this another scam on top of previous losses?
Hey everyone, so i lost a good chunk of money to a crypto investment scam last year, like about 15k EUR. It was awful, still hurts to think about. I reported it to the police here in Germany and also filled out the form with Action Fraud in the UK just in case, but honestly, didn't hear much back. Then out of nowhere, i get an email today from a company calling themselves 'Action Refund'. They say they've tracked my funds, which sounds too good to be true, right? They've been really professional, sending me official-looking documents, and even had a PDF breakdown of my 'recovered' funds. But, to get the money released, they're asking for an 'advance tax payment' of around 1,500 EUR to a specific crypto wallet. They claim it's a mandatory government tax for international fund transfers. My gut is screaming scam, but the small hopeful part of me wonders if it could be real. Has anyone heard of this 'Action Refund' or this type of fee?
