Is 'Crypto Recovery Alliance' asking for a 'digital asset verification fee' another scam?
Okay, so I got scammed really bad last year, lost a fair bit of my savings to some fake crypto investment platform. I was so embarrassed, didn't tell anyone for ages. Recently, I got an email from a company calling themselves 'Crypto Recovery Alliance'. They claim they've traced some of my lost funds and can get them back for me. They sound pretty convincing, even knew the approximate amount I lost and the platform name. They sent me some official-looking documents.
Now they're asking for a 'digital asset verification fee' of about 1.5k euros to 'unlock' my funds, saying it's a standard regulatory thing before they can transfer the recovered crypto to my wallet. They also mentioned they work with regulators to fast-track things. I'm desperate to get my money back, but I'm also terrified of being scammed again. This feels a bit too good to be true. Has anyone dealt with these guys or anything similar? Is this a genuine step or just another way to milk more money out of victims like me? Any advice from Galway or elsewhere would be super helpful, I'm at my wit's end.
