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.

Did you contact him and ask for help to recover your BTC and deal with a 10% fee?
Did he send the recovered BTC to your Electrum wallet?
Check carefully you should be able to see the transaction under the Electrum history tab.

If you see a transaction and it's not confirmed yet with a very low fee don't send him the 10% fee yet until the transaction has 3 confirmations because he can cancel the transaction and send it back to his wallet while it's not confirmed yet.
Most scammers do this to make it look legit be careful not to send BTC except if it was confirmed and if you can able to send these funds to your new wallet.
