Hi
Has anyone had any experience with the following:
I believe i had been scammed by a online trading company and used a recovery expert to get the money back, they have said that they have recovered the money in BTC tokens and they are now in a account as unrecognised tokens which shows a deposit balance but not available until i add 10% of this balance to unlock it.Any advice would be appreciated as i do not want to get scammed again.
Thank you and look forward to any replies as time is short, and i am told if they do a maintenance on the platform the tokens will automatically get burnt.

You did the right thing and asked for advice... The situation you described looks like they are trying to scam you again.
A service that asks you to give money to get money is 99,99% of the time just scamming you... Also, the rest of their explanation looks very fishy... Really, why would they be using some unknown token... If they had really recovered your money, they would be having your BTC in their account, they'd probably subtract their fee and send you the rest. Just think about it: they claim to have access to your money, why on earth would they ask you to send them more money before they release your money (witch they already have access to) while they can just take their fee from the money they recovered... It makes no sense and is a VERY common scam tactic.
The fact you tell us they're using some unknown token (instead of BTC, witch is the currency that was stolen from you) is enough reason to call it a scam, the fact they're asking for money in order to give you money is an even bigger red flag.
You were scammed once, step away before you get scammed twice!
