As the first poster that replied to this thread said post a signed message with its private key and people will believe you as that is undeniable proof you have access to those funds, otherwise not many people are going to believe your story as this is too unbelievable.

After all it is true that randomly someone could create the very same address and private key belonging to another wallet, this is called address collision but it is something so rare that I was not expecting this to happen during my lifetime, so it is not really surprising the community is skeptic about this.
