A company called 'Global Asset Recovery Team' wants a 'blockchain transfer fee' – another scam?
Hey everyone, I'm really at my wit's end here. A few months ago, I lost about 8,000 euros in a crypto investment scam. It was one of those fake trading platforms, looked super legit at first. Anyway, this past week, I got an email out of the blue from a company calling themselves 'Global Asset Recovery Team'. They said they found my case through a dark web monitoring service and can recover my funds. They even knew the exact amount I lost and the platform's name, which freaked me out a bit, but also made me hopeful. Now they're asking for a 'blockchain transfer fee' of about 1,500 euros, saying it's necessary to transfer the recovered crypto back to my wallet. They said it's refundable once the transfer is complete. My wife says it sounds too good to be true, and I'm really scared of falling for another scam. Anyone heard of them or dealt with this kind of fee before?
