A company called 'Global Asset Recovery Agency' wants a 'service activation fee' – another scam?

Hi everyone, I'm feeling really vulnerable right now and could use some advice. Back in September, I lost a good chunk of my savings, around £7,000, to a bogus investment platform that promised insane crypto returns. It was such a stupid mistake, my partner was furious, and I've just been trying to move on. Then yesterday, out of the blue, I got an email from a company calling themselves 'Global Asset Recovery Agency'. They somehow knew all the details of my previous scam – the platform name, the amount I lost, everything. They even had my email and surname. They sounded very professional, talking about 'specialized blockchain tracing' and 'international legal frameworks'. They've sent me a 'contract' and are asking for a 'service activation fee' of £500, paid to a Revolut account. My gut is screaming scam again, but a tiny part of me is desperate for closure or even a glimmer of hope. Has anyone dealt with these guys or something similar? Is this just another layer of the same old trick? I really can't afford to lose another penny.
