A company called 'Chain Trace Recovery' says they can 'hack' my scammer's wallet. Is this legit?
Hey everyone, feeling super stupid for even asking this, but I'm really desperate. I got absolutely rinsed by one of those fake investment scams last year – lost a decent chunk, about 8k, it was awful. Didn't even tell my partner for ages. Anyway, yesterday I got an email, unsolicited, from something called 'Chain Trace Recovery'. They claim they've developed some 'proprietary blockchain forensics tools' and can 'forcibly reverse transactions' by 'hacking' the scammer's wallet. They even sent me a link to a dashboard that supposedly shows my funds 'pending recovery'. They're asking for a 'network synchronization fee' of about 700 euro before they can 'release' my funds. It sounds too good to be true, especially after what I went through, but a small part of me is clinging to hope. Has anyone heard of these guys? Or is this just another layer of the same old BS?
A company called 'Refund Police' contacted me – they want a 'swift code verification fee'. Is this another scam?
Hi everyone, I'm Daniel from Dublin. Feeling a bit desperate here. Back in October, I got hit hard by a crypto investment scam, lost nearly 8k GBP. It was brutal, completely cleaned out my savings. I reported it to An Garda Síochána here, and also Action Fraud in the UK since the scammers seemed to be operating from there, but haven't heard much back. Just got an email today from a company calling themselves 'Refund Police'. They say they've identified my lost funds and can get them back, but first I need to pay a 'swift code verification fee' of about 300 euros. They even mentioned they work with 'international regulatory bodies'. Is this for real? Or is it just another trick to take more of my money? I really can't afford to lose another cent.
