A company called 'Global Financial Recovery' wants a 'regulatory compliance fee' to recover my lost funds. Is this another scam?
Okay, so I was hit really hard last year by a crypto investment scam, lost nearly 10k CAD. It was awful, honestly, felt so stupid and embarrassed. I tried reporting it to the police here in Calgary, and even filed a complaint with the **BBB**, but nothing really came of it. I'd pretty much given up hope, just trying to move on.
But then, yesterday, I got this email out of the blue from 'Global Financial Recovery'. They said they'd found my case linked to a larger investigation and could help me get my money back. They even knew some details about the original scam, which freaked me out a bit, like how did they get that info? Now they're asking for a 'regulatory compliance fee' to proceed. It's not a huge amount, maybe 600 CAD, but after losing so much already, I'm super hesitant. I can't afford to be scammed again. Is this legit or just another cruel trick?
