A company called 'Digital Asset Recovery' wants a 'blockchain verification fee' to get my crypto back. Scam?
I really need some advice here. I lost a significant amount of crypto, about 5,000 USDT, in a fake investment platform just a few months ago. I was devastated because it was money I really couldn't afford to lose. I reported it to the local police here in Dubai, but they said it's very hard to track for crypto cases. Yesterday, I received an email from a company calling themselves 'Digital Asset Recovery'. They said they found my case through a dark web scan (which sounded a bit weird) and claim they can retrieve my funds. They sent me a professional-looking proposal and even a fake-ish looking 'case ID'. The only catch is, they're asking for a 'blockchain verification fee' of 0.05 BTC (around $3000 USD right now) to initiate the recovery process. They say it's to cover the costs of validating the lost transactions on the blockchain before they can actually move the funds back to my wallet. It sounds *just* like the kind of thing the original scammers asked for, but I'm so desperate to get my money back. Is this actually legitimate, or am I about to get scammed again?
A company called 'ResolveRight Solutions' wants an 'enrollment fee' to recover my crypto – legit or another scam?
Hey everyone, Feeling pretty paranoid after getting swindled out of a decent chunk of crypto a few months back. I'd almost given up hope, but then this company, 'ResolveRight Solutions,' contacted me. They said they'd found my details online (which, ugh, another red flag maybe?) and that they specialize in crypto recovery. They sound super professional, have a sleek website, and told me they could definitely get my money back from where it went. But, of course, there's a catch. They want an 'enrollment fee' upfront – not a huge amount, but still, it's money. They claim it's for 'initial forensic analysis' and to 'open my case file.' My gut is screaming scam, especially after what happened before, but I'm also desperate to get my funds back. Has anyone heard of ResolveRight Solutions? Is this a standard practice for legit recovery firms, or am I about to get double-scammed? Any advice would be amazing. I'm in Perth, Australia, if that helps.
