Is 'Global Asset Recovery Firm' asking for a 'digital asset protection fee' another scam?
Hey everyone,
So I got hit pretty hard a few months back with a crypto scam, lost about low five figures. I was devastated, thought all my money was just gone. Then out of the blue, I get this email from a company calling themselves 'Global Asset Recovery Firm'. They said they track these things, had seen my name linked to a compromised wallet, and could help. Sounded super professional, even mentioned working with certain blockchain analytics firms, kinda like AMLBot, to trace funds.
They've been pretty convincing, sending me 'updates' and 'case summaries'. Now they're saying they've located my funds, but to release them, I need to pay a 'digital asset protection fee' of a few thousand dollars. They say it's for 'secure transfer protocols' and 'regulatory compliance' before they can put it back in my account. I'm so desperate to get my money back, but after the first scam, I'm super paranoid. My gut is screaming 'red flag' again, but what if it's real? Has anyone dealt with these guys or heard of this fee?
