Scam or no?

Company rings up on a mobile number, flag number 1. I googled the number, no results.

Then they email me this:

Dear David,

This email is delivered as a notification regarding the lost assets recovered under your name with the scam company named Big Option, but you may know that company by another name.

Due to the investigation, the fraudulent company was forced to pay a compensation fee and refund all those funds affected by the financial manipulation. The money was found to be in cryptocurrency and was handed over to the bit-pay holding company.

Bit-pay is obligated to keep the crypto wallets with the recovered funds until the victims have been contacted and the necessary procedures for the withdrawal of these funds have been carried out. You will receive compensation and recovered funds. Amount of Compensation Fee: 5350 EUR. Amount of Recovered Funds is your private information; you will receive it during procedure with your personal agent.

Our consultancy agency has been hired by bit-pay to contact and assist the platform's clients throughout the withdrawal process.

Jupiter Limited Our consultancy agency:
- does not collect your data;
- does not share it with third parties;
- does not ask for your bank details;
- attaches your details to a case concerning an investigation of a fraudulent company.

After this procedure you will be transferred to your case coordinator to sign an agreement about your withdrawal conditions and it will take from 1 to 3 business days to be proceeded.

Reply with your relevant contact number and a suitable time for a talk with one of our representatives.

Here are your log in details to your personal account at bit-pay.co.uk :

One-time password: PASSWORD

Keep in mind, you should not forget to change the password afterwards.

Best regards,

I could very well have some old BTC lying around somewhere, never heard of Big Option though.

I've done quite a bit of googling and despite my spidey senses being on fire, I can't find anything that outright calls this a scam.

Now this is where the scam comes in obvs, this is a message that this website sent me:

Dear Customer!



Here is your current activation wallet:



*BITCOIN WALLET*



The minimum amount for deposit is 0.0044 BTC



Best regards,



Your Support Team

So that's effectively "deposit £150 to activate your wallet" LOL

Further flags, bitpay.com is a real website, went live in 2004.

Bit-pay.co.uk wet live 12 days ago (lol).

Another flag is that the support button on their page just takes you to "my account". I've also asked their "live chat" a question, and no response.

I mean, this whole thing is covered in red flags but I know I had some bitcoin lying around and that amount does sound about right.

So what's the deal here? They're just gonna take the £150 and run, or is there more to this?

That's why scams work, no? Send vague info to enough people and it's going to be close to the mark with some.

That's the bit that would have me discarding it, a similar sounding name to an established company only set up a few days ago.

Yes , explain to them how you lost quite a bit of your vast wealth recently through a scam, and that you are over the moon they are there to help you.

Then ask what benefits they provide, if there are private pool parties in overseas locations etc for their top investors.

It'll get them going.
