Did anyone still fall in this classic scam? How someone really stupid to believe there's an easy money in this world, no one will starve or beg for money to feed him. There's a lot type of this scam e.g. unknown exchange, investment company, cloud mining, stranger etc that ask such fee/money to unlock a prize/reward are obviously a scam.
Well, there is no easy money anywhere and that's the idea I tend to live by. Yeah, there might be such things as luck or grace but even then, you've got to put in some effort to attract those.
When it comes to getting scammed by the means as in OP, it's very possible and for sure, it still happens. People are getting scammed by even worst schemes or techniques so classic that it's supposed to have to have completely diluted. Ignorant forks are still everywhere and needs to be given this awareness.
Although as shaddy as the scheme is, it actually hurts the evil minded and greedy once. Why would someone without being contacted try to recover a wallet address that deonst belong to him or her. It's something that ought not to happen if you believe in an honest living and keep clean.
