Is 'Refund Police' a legitimate service, or another scam preying on victims?
I was targeted by a crypto investment scam last year, lost a fair bit – about £8,000, which for me is a huge amount. I reported it to Action Fraud here in the UK, but, honestly, it felt like shouting into a void. I've been getting these emails lately, pretty persistent, from a company calling themselves 'Refund Police'. They claim they can recover my lost funds, say they work with blockchain tracing experts, and have had success with cases just like mine. They're asking for an 'initial investigative fee' of £500, which they say is refundable if they can't establish a path to recovery. That last part sounds somewhat reassuring, but after getting burned once, I'm super wary. Has anyone heard of them? Are they for real or just another scam trying to hit me again?
