A company called 'Global Funds Recovery' wants an 'escrow processing fee'. Is this another scam?
Hey everyone, I'm feeling so desperate and honestly, pretty stupid right now. About six months ago, I fell for a crypto investment scam – lost most of my savings, like low five figures. It was devastating, my partner was so upset, and I've been trying to put the pieces back together. I reported it to the local police here in Utrecht and tried Action Fraud online, but didn't really get anywhere. Now, out of the blue, I got an email from a company calling themselves 'Global Funds Recovery'. They claim they've traced my funds and can get them back for me. They seem to know details about my original scam that only the scammers or I would know, which kinda got my hopes up. But they're asking for an 'escrow processing fee' of about €2,500 upfront before they can release anything. They say it's for legal and administrative costs, and that it's fully refundable once the funds are recovered. My gut is screaming 'scam again,' but a tiny part of me is holding onto hope. Has anyone dealt with these guys or something similar? Is this just another way to take advantage of victims?
A company called 'Claim Solutions Ltd' wants an 'escrow processing fee' – is this a recovery scam?
Hi everyone, I'm really at my wit's end here. Back in November, I lost about £4,500 to a fake crypto investment platform. It was devastating, I know I should have been more careful. I reported it to my bank and the FCA, but haven't heard much back. Yesterday, I got an email from a company called 'Claim Solutions Ltd'. They said they found my case through a 'public database' and that they can recover my funds. They've been quite professional so far, sent me some documents, and even showed me a screenshot of what looks like my lost funds in an 'escrow' account. But now they're asking for a £350 'escrow processing fee' to release the money. They say it's fully refundable once the funds are transferred. Is this legit? Or am I about to be scammed again? I'm so paranoid now, I just want my money back.
