Is 'Trading Loss Expert' a real recovery service or just another scam feeding off my past misfortune?

Hi everyone, I'm reaching out because I'm feeling really vulnerable right now. Back in December, I lost a significant amount of money to a crypto trading platform that turned out to be a total scam. It's been tough, mentally and financially. Just yesterday, I was contacted out of the blue by a company called 'Trading Loss Expert'. They said they saw my posts online about my loss and claimed they could help me recover my funds, but they're asking for an upfront 'investigation fee' of about $1500 USD. They sound really professional on the phone, very persuasive, mentioning legal processes and everything. They even sent me a fancy looking contract. My gut is telling me something isn't right. I'm so desperate to get my money back, but I absolutely cannot afford to be scammed again. Has anyone had any experience with 'Trading Loss Expert' or similar companies? Is this a legitimate way to recover funds, or am I just looking at another trap? I really need some honest advice before I make another terrible mistake.
