Hello, my dear Community Members, I started using ELECTRUM wallet on Dec.13, 2023 and therefore I have very little knowledge of how it works!
Someone has recovered 1.3 BTC of my funds after my crypto account in Hong Kong was hacked a few years ago - and said it was sent to my ELECTRUM wallet using the BTC address I gave him for the Electrum Request.
He also told me that I need to deposit/send $5000 BTC (about 10% of the BTC funds he sent) to my Electrum wallet - to show HISTORY in my wallet BEFORE my funds can be verified by Electrum and PAID into my account (and Request Status to change from UNPAID to verified?). Is that correct, or is he trying to fool me and keep my recovered funds for himself?
