But am grateful for your guidance. Why would they send me an email to ask for fee for redemption if I did not genuinely invest...? 

Because they want you to send them money, which they will keep and then perhaps ask for more, in the hope that you will think that you have already lost so much money that it's worth sending a little more to hopefully get a good proportion of it back? That's how many scams work.

 It’s not a made up scenario & you’re smart but you did not analyse the fact that I’ve pasted their email.

I don't know what you mean that I didn't "analyse the fact that I’ve pasted their email".

I've analysed the fact that it's not written in good business English, and I've analysed the fact that the email address contained within it is from a web domain that had not existed for many months at the time of you posting it, so I warned that despite it having a UK phone number it should not be mistaken for a genuine email from any UK financial services business of similar name.

I've also observed that I don't know if it's a genuine email because you could have just made up all of that text and typed it into a forum post because you are perhaps a troll. Or even someone hoping to generate publicity for the fake firm (believing any publicity is good publicity, especially if you later came back and posted a fake story that you successfully got your money back, which would encourage other people to believe that if xxxxx.com were to offer them the release of their money for £1000 it's safe to accept the offer).

There are all sorts of ways for people to get conned or misled when reading things on the internet. A healthy dose of scepticism is useful.

 Shockingly I work for banks, heck I’ve even consulted for money savingexperts.com😏😏 not learning much am I?

Correct?

(PS: moneysavingexperts.com is not the name of the popular website you're currently reading. Attention to detail will help you avoiding losing your £5000s in future. Sorry if that sounds harsh.)

Yeah, harsh but it's the truth.  I let auto correct rule my life. And I am not a troll, did lose money and It was never recovered. It's all gone into the big dark web of lies, deceits and lust for money that drives people to depths unknown without any scruples.

You have consulted for money savingexperts.com? Who are they?

Apologies, was busy sulking over money lost 

You seem to be putting the loss of £5K away quite easily if all you do is sulk over it.

Well it's my doing, so I don't want to invest my happiness as well over a bad transaction.
