<p>I was recently contacted by blockchain Acces UK claiming that I had created a bitcoin wallet years ago. Was informed wallet has 4.2 BTC coins in it  which is equivalent to almost $40,000. The account is now dormant and frozen because there has been no activity. Was told it can be recovered by this company,and money sent to my bank account. I cannot remember any of my bitcoin information. I created the wallet and just completely forgot about it. Is this company legit, and How can I recover my lost wallet.looking forward to feedback.</p>

It's a scam. Don't bother answering, and definitely don't send them any money.
