G’day. Many years ago, I bought some eth. The company went belly up/disappeared. Recently a bloke purporting to be from UK government agency contacted me in relation to this, stating that they had recovered my eth, and asked for cold wallet address, which I provided, and have now received frozen eth into of a substantial amount. He also stated that I need to buy 10% of the value of the deposited eth, and add to the wallet. Then I need to transfer both lots to another wallet in my name, which will thaw/unfreeze the eth in the process. I suspect this is a scam, but I can find no evidence either way. I await your guidance.

    OP, can you post a screenshot of etherscan.io showing the “frozen eth”?

    Would be interesting to see how many wallets are falling for the scam.
