Is 'Funds Recovery Group' for real? They contacted me after I lost crypto to a trading scam.
Hi everyone, I'm reaching out because I'm feeling really desperate and confused. A few months ago, I fell for a cryptocurrency trading scam that promised huge returns. I invested a significant amount, my life savings really, and of course, it all vanished. I reported it to the Gardaí here in Ireland, but they just said these things are incredibly hard to trace.
Now, I've been getting relentless emails and even a few calls from a company called 'Funds Recovery Group.' They claim they can get my money back, saying they have special tools and legal expertise to go after these scammers, even if they're overseas. They're asking for an upfront fee, which they say is for their 'investigation costs' and legal filing. It's a chunky sum, and honestly, I'm terrified to lose more money. Has anyone dealt with this particular group or similar ones? Are they legitimate, or is this just another scam preying on victims?
