A company called 'Recovery Pro' wants an 'anti-fraud clearance fee' for my lost crypto – is this legit?
Hey everyone, I'm feeling sick to my stomach about this. Back in November, I lost about 8k USD in a crypto investment scam. It was one of those 'high-yield' platforms my friend told me about. Anyway, I've been wallowing ever since.
Out of the blue, I got an email a few days ago from a company calling themselves 'Recovery Pro'. They said they track lost funds and can help get my money back. They even knew the platform name and roughly how much I lost, which kinda freaked me out but also gave me a tiny bit of hope. After a couple of calls, they're now asking for an 'anti-fraud clearance fee' of about $750 to 'unlock' my recovered funds. They promise it's the last step.
My gut is screaming scam, but a part of me, the part that's still hurting from that 8k, just wants it to be real. Has anyone heard of this 'anti-fraud clearance fee' or 'Recovery Pro'? Is this how recovery actually works, or am I about to get scammed again?
