Posted on behalf of the targeted victim:
The scammer impersonated an official from the IMF Europe office. This scammer somehow was aware about a financial fraud I had experienced previously with a banker and a lawyer in Togo, where, unfortunately, I was a victim of this fraud with considerable financial loss. I also speculate that the scammer who sent this email and the one from the previous fraud may be identical.
