Doesn't work for me at all. And home page is a referral link to some crypto trading platform.
I lost my bitcoin to fake blockchain.com impostors on Twitter, they contacted me as blockchain official support and I fell stupidly for their mischievous act, this made them gain access into my blockchain wallet account, whereby 9.938 BTC was stolen from my wallet in total. I was dumbfounded because this was all my savings I banked up on, waiting for bitcoin bull run. Then my friend recommended me to an expert, I researched online at least to know more about the group and found so many testimonies about Recovery Coin Group, with the contact address-RECOVERYCOINGROUP AT GMAIL DOT COM . I decided to take the leap of faith and to my greatest surprise, all my coins were recovered back into my wallet.
