A company called 'Refund Police' emailed me, asking for an 'anti-money laundering fee' – is this a scam?
Hey everyone, feeling really anxious again. Back in March, I got caught up in a crypto investment scam and lost about 8k. It was awful, I felt so dumb. I reported it to the RCMP and my bank, but honestly, didn't expect much. Then, yesterday, I got an email from a company calling themselves 'Refund Police.' They somehow knew about my specific loss, even details I hadn't shared publicly. They said they've recovered a percentage of my funds and just need me to pay an 'anti-money laundering (AML) fee' of about $750 CAD to release it. They sent what looks like official documents, even referenced some imaginary 'international financial recovery laws.' I'm really hesitant, even though a part of me desperately wants to believe it's real. Is this another trick? Has anyone dealt with these guys or something similar?
