A company called 'Refund Rescue' wants an 'anti-money laundering clearance fee'. Scam?
Hey everyone, I'm feeling sick to my stomach just thinking about this. About six months ago, I got caught up in a crypto investment scam, lost nearly 15k EUR, everything I had saved for a house deposit. I reported it to An Garda Síochána but honestly, didn't hear much back. Now, this company called 'Refund Rescue' contacted me out of the blue. They said they specialize in recovering funds from these types of scams and even mentioned the name of the dodgy platform I used, which really surprised me. They've been super professional, showing me what look like legitimate documents, and now they're asking for an 'anti-money laundering clearance fee' before they can release my recovered funds. It's about 2,000 EUR. I'm desperate to get my money back, but I also don't want to get scammed again. Is this a common practice? Or am I being targeted again by these sharks?
Is 'Crypto Recover Inc.' asking for an 'AML compliance fee' just another scam for my lost funds?
Alright, so I got hit hard a few months ago by a crypto investment scam. Lost about $8,000, which was basically my life savings after a tough year. I was pretty devastated, reported it to my local police here in Calgary, but didn't really hear much back. Then, out of nowhere, I get an email from a company called 'Crypto Recover Inc.' saying they tracked my funds and can get them back. They sounded really professional, sent me some 'case studies' and even had a fancy website. After a few calls, they're now asking for an 'AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance fee' of about $750 before they can release my funds. They say it's standard procedure for international transfers of recovered assets. I'm desperate to get my money back, but after getting burned once, I'm super paranoid. Is this a legitimate fee or am I about to get scammed again?
Is 'Claims Justice' asking for an 'AML compliance fee' just another scam for my lost funds?
Hi everyone, I'm feeling so desperate and embarrassed right now. Last year, I lost a significant amount of money, almost €15,000, to a bogus forex trading platform. It felt like my world fell apart. I've been trying to move on, but then I got an email out of the blue from a company called Claims Justice. They said they'd seen my case registered somewhere (I did report it to local police here in The Hague and the AFM). They sound really professional and even sent me a 'case brief' that had some accurate details about my loss. Now they're saying they've located my funds, but to release them, I need to pay an 'AML compliance fee' of about €1,500. It's a lot, but if it means getting my money back, I'd pay it. My gut is screaming scam again, but my hope is clinging on. What do you all think? Is this a standard procedure, or am I about to be scammed a second time?
My 'broker' FXChoice is asking for an 'anti-money laundering' fee to release my crypto profits. Is this legit?
Hi everyone, I'm feeling sick to my stomach. I've been trading crypto with this platform called FXChoice for a few months now. They seemed fine at first, good returns, really pushy 'account manager' who kept me on WhatsApp. I put in about $12k over time, and my account balance now shows like $35k, which felt amazing. But now I'm trying to withdraw, and they're suddenly saying I need to pay a 10% 'Anti-Money Laundering (AML) fee' of my total profit before they'll release anything. They even sent me some official-looking document about international banking regulations. My stomach just dropped. I've heard some horror stories about these fees being scams. Is this a real thing? Or have I totally fallen for it? I'm in Vancouver, and honestly don't know who to even ask about this here.
