Is this 'FCA recovery department' email legit or am I falling for another scam?
Hey everyone,
i'm feeling so desperate right now. A few months back i lost a significant amount of money, low five figures, to an online investment scam. It was brutal, completely wiped out my savings. I reported it to my local police, my bank (Crédit Agricole), but tbh nothing really came of it.
Today, I received an email from an address that looks like 'FCA Recovery Department' or something similar. They're claiming they've identified me as a victim and can help recover my funds, but they need an upfront processing fee to 'initiate the legal proceedings'. It's about 1500 euros. They even sent some official-looking documents with the FCA logo. My gut says it's too good to be true, especially after getting burned so badly. What do you guys think? Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm so scared of losing more money.
