A company called 'Global Asset Recovery' wants a 'tax clearance fee'. Is this another scam or legit?
Ugh, I'm so tired. Lost a significant amount of money – low five figures – to an investment scam back in March. Felt like such an idiot, you know? I reported it to ASIC here in Australia, but honestly, didn't hear much back after the initial confirmation. A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from 'Global Asset Recovery'. They said they found my case details through some public database – which immediately made me suspicious, but also... hopeful. They've been really professional, sending me reports and even a 'case manager'. Now they're saying they've located my funds and can get them back, but I need to pay a 'tax clearance fee' of about 2,500 AUD to release the funds from some international holding account. They said it's a refundable fee. My gut says no, but my brain, after all this time, just wants my money back. Is this just another layer of the scam?
A company called 'Global Asset Recovery' wants a 'bank transfer unblocking fee' to get my money back. Scam?
Bonjour everyone. I'm feeling so desperate right now, I don't even know where to start. A few months ago, I fell for one of those investment scams, lost a significant amount, like almost all my savings, to some fake crypto platform. It was a really tough time, and I felt so stupid. I reported it to the police here in Marseille, but tbh, they didn't offer much hope. Said it was very difficult to trace. Then, out of the blue, I got an email from a company calling themselves 'Global Asset Recovery'. They said they saw my report and specialize in getting funds back from these exact types of scams. They had a lot of details about my original loss, which kinda freaked me out but also made them seem legit. Now, they've been 'working' on it for a few weeks, and today they sent an invoice for a 'bank transfer unblocking fee' – around 2,500 euros – saying my funds are ready to be transferred but this fee is required by the 'international banking system' to release them. It sounds too good to be true, and frankly, I'm terrified of losing even more money. Has anyone else encountered this? Is this just another scam targeting me because they know I'm vulnerable?
