The email sounded official, with fake seals and corporate signatures. But when I cross-checked the domain, it was barely a month old. I asked for documentation—they ignored me. Everything about the message screamed impersonation. Other victims confirmed the same experience: identical wording, identical “approval” fees, identical silence afterward. The passive tone was their weapon—it implied authority without accountability. They weren’t asking; they were conditioning. In truth, no authority existed behind the mask. The passive voice of the message disguised the active nature of their theft.
