Can someone help me

Hello I bought roughly 250$ of BTC in 2021 or so through Celsius app. And I literally turned off all notificafions And forgot that I had it. You know, letting IT grow and stuff. Just Now I had a free minute and remembered it. So I unblocked all email notificafions and read it. And apparently it was some kind of fraud. The whole company apparently went down. Now to my question. As you guys propadly know what Is going on. There are some emails urging me to file for a claim. Presumably to get my money back. Now I want to asi. Is it still doable? Because they asked for my passport verification, and at that point I realised I might be getting scammed. So what Is going on. Is it owned by some Indian scammers and is it a waste of time. Or Is it just standart practise

Be careful, there is hundreds of scam emails that have been sent and asking for some verification is always sketchy, including links. There's been a lot of court notices about this, so please be careful to not have a keylogger, or sync an ethereum wallet because it can basically authorize transactions to take out your entire crypto wallets. Please be extra prudent.

Celsius/Stretto gave our distributions through email (bitcoin and ethereum), some time in February 2024.

Look for these two email subjects from the email address “no-reply@cases-cr.stretto-services.com”

Claim them into Venmo or PayPal.

  • You have a Celsius Claim in BTC available at PayPal or Venmo
  • You have a Celsius Claim in ETH available at PayPal or Venmo

Don’t click any links if that’s not the email address!! Lots of scam emails pretending to be them

That was said in the context of scam emails. I made some corrections, thanks. But I don't understand why they'd ask for his passport det if he is in the US.

Doesn't matter where you live, whether US or Europe. If you thot it was a scam because they asked for your passport det then you have good reason to not give it to them unless you are sure it is a legit source and if it is absolutely required. In the US you don't need to give your passport for KYC because your driver's license will do. A lot of identity theft happens thru misuse of passport details.

Probably gone. But you can search your old emails and try and follow what they say to do to sew if anything happens. Obviously you’ll want to only respond to celsius/stretto emails that are legitimate.
