Is 'Global Recovery Services' a legit company, or am I about to get scammed again after losing crypto?
Okay, so i'm feeling super dumb right now. A few months ago, I fell for one of those fake crypto investment platforms – lost about 7k euros, everything I had saved from my pottery sales. It was a brutal lesson, thought I'd bounced back after talking to my bank, but then I got an email out of nowhere last week. It's from something called 'Global Recovery Services,' and they're claiming they can get my crypto back.
They sound really professional in their emails, even sent me a 'case number' and a PDF with their process. They want an upfront 'retainer fee' though, saying it covers forensic analysis and legal filing fees. It's like, 800 euros, which feels like a lot after what I've already lost. My gut is screaming 'scam' again, especially because they found me, I didn't reach out. Has anyone heard of these guys? Should I risk it, or is this just another trap for someone already down?
