Is 'Regulatory Affairs Commission' asking for a 'digital asset clearance fee' another scam?
Hey everyone, I'm really hoping for some advice here. I lost a decent amount of crypto last year, like mid-five figures, to this fake investment platform after falling for some influencer stuff on Instagram. It was brutal. I'd almost given up but then this group, calling themselves 'Regulatory Affairs Commission', contacted me out of the blue. They said they're working with law enforcement on a big bust and my funds were actually recovered but are 'frozen' due to some compliance issues.
Now they're asking for a 'digital asset clearance fee' – not a huge amount, like 3% of the total, but still a couple grand. They even sent me a document with a really official-looking seal, supposedly from some international financial body, saying my funds are waiting. I'm so desperate to get my money back, but after getting burned once, I'm super paranoid. My gut is screaming scam again, but what if it's real? Has anyone dealt with this 'Regulatory Affairs Commission' or something similar?
