From our Cyber Security Experts:

This type of #SCAM is called a "Recovery Scam."

In these scams, fraudsters pose as "helpers" or experts claiming they can recover lost funds or unlock frozen accounts.

In reality, they exploit the desperation of already victimized individuals to extract more money or personal information from them, ultimately scamming them again.

Important: Never send more money or share personal details with these so-called helpers!

Your funds are already lost. Don't loose more!
