Is 'Wealth Recovery International' asking for an 'advance fee' another scam after I lost my crypto?
Ugh, I'm so done. So, I fell for a pretty elaborate crypto investment scam a few months back. Lost like, a significant chunk of my retirement, low six figures. I was devastated, reported it to the RCMP, IC3, all the things. Thought that was it, just a hard lesson learned. Then, out of nowhere, I get an email from a company calling themselves 'Wealth Recovery International'. They said they found my case through public records and have a high success rate recovering funds from these types of scams. They sounded so professional, knew details about my initial scam that weren't public (which kinda freaked me out, tbh). They've sent me a 'contract' and are now asking for an 'advance fee' to cover initial legal and investigative costs. It's not a small amount, like 5% of what I lost. My gut is screaming 'SCAM ALERT' again because it feels exactly like the red flags I missed the first time. But part of me, the desperate part, is thinking 'what if this is real?' Has anyone dealt with these guys? Is an advance fee normal for legitimate recovery services? I'm in Halifax, Canada if that helps. Any advice appreciated, I can't afford to get burned again.
A company called 'Wealth Recovery International' wants a 'settlement disbursement fee'. Is this another scam?
Hi everyone, I'm so lost right now. About six months ago, I fell for a crypto investment scam and lost nearly all my savings – about 15k EUR. It was devastating. I've been trying to put it behind me, but a few weeks ago, I got an email out of the blue from a company called 'Wealth Recovery International'. They said they track these scams and have located my funds, claiming they've even initiated a 'settlement' on my behalf. They've been really professional, sending me official-looking documents, and frankly, I was desperate for some good news. Now, they're asking for a 'settlement disbursement fee' – about 1,500 EUR – to release the funds. They say it's to cover administrative costs and ensure the transfer clears regulatory hurdles. My gut is screaming 'scam' again, especially after what happened before, but a tiny part of me wants to believe it's real. My wife thinks I'm mad for even considering it. Has anyone heard of this 'settlement disbursement fee'? Is this legit, or am I just setting myself up to be fleeced again? Any advice would be appreciated.
Is a 'due diligence fee' from Wealth Recovery International legit, or am I getting scammed AGAIN?
Hi everyone, I'm so mortified to even be asking this, but I'm desperate. A few months ago, I lost a good chunk of my savings to an online investment scam – we're talking low five figures. I was completely devastated. Then last week, out of the blue, I got an email from 'Wealth Recovery International'. They said they'd found my case linked to a larger network they were investigating and could recover my funds. They seemed really professional, had a decent-looking website, and even mentioned they work with regulators. They've now asked for an 'initial due diligence fee' of about €1,500 to start the process, saying it covers forensic analysis and legal checks before they can proceed. They guarantee recovery or my money back (the fee, not the original scam funds). It sounds too good to be true, and after what happened, I'm super paranoid. My gut is screaming 'red flag', but the idea of getting my money back is so tempting. Has anyone dealt with these guys, or heard of this 'due diligence' fee being legit? Please, any advice would be massively appreciated. I just can't afford to lose any more.
Wealth Recovery International wants an 'indemnity insurance fee' for my lost crypto – legit or another scam?
I was completely devastated after losing about £12,000 in a crypto investment scam last year. It was my savings, gone. I reported it to Action Fraud and honestly, didn't expect much. Then, out of the blue, I got an email from 'Wealth Recovery International' saying they'd seen my report and could help. They had some details about my case that made it seem really plausible, like they actually knew what they were talking about. They've gone through a whole process with me, saying they've traced the funds and now they just need an 'indemnity insurance fee' to release everything. It's about £1,500. They're saying it's standard procedure for international transfers and protects both parties. I'm so desperate to get my money back, but after being scammed once, I'm terrified of falling for another trick. It feels like a lot of money to pay upfront. Has anyone else dealt with these guys? Is this indemnity insurance fee a normal thing?
