I received an email from the police and I'm not sure if it's a fake or real email.

Good evening, Sir:
I am Commander Gabriel Fontaine of the Anti-Pedophile Brigade and Acts of Unwanted Sexuality against the law and violations of citizens. We are a secret Brigade that was created in 2007 and we work online monitoring websites. We are on duty 24/7 and act as quickly as possible with all the resources at our disposal to carry out operations, leaving no trace at the scenes, and we are extremely violent!!!!!! I have at my command 3,800 Soldiers and Agents throughout France who are dealing with complaints against humanity that endanger human rights and the atrocious acts of pornographic video publications on reputable websites worldwide, as children are found on these channels along with people suffering from compulsive behavior who should not witness sexual acts.

We have received a complaint that was filed by the YOUTUBE site regarding the fact that you published a pornographic photo that is prohibited by their Charter and the principles of the Site. Therefore, we are about to take action against you; the Site has communicated all your addresses to us. So within the next 72 hours, we plan to send National Police Agents to the location and seize you. You will then face trial where you will have to respond to the charges, along with a fine and 28 years of hard imprisonment. So to avoid any trouble, please accept the request and explain the related facts, otherwise you will undergo a torment. Know that we are more than determined to take you to court, and subsequently, your assets will be seized along with your family. So contact us as soon as possible to avoid any complaints and legal proceedings. Sincerely, Mr. GABRIEL FONTAINE.

    Sure, don't reply to this email and delete it. It's just someone from a foreign country trying to scam you.
    Are they calling you sir? With lots of spelling mistakes? And by email? No official summons?
    Don't worry about it.

    It's completely false, the "brigade infantry battalion" does not exist, moreover there is no pedophilia brigade!

      Hello,

      And what outcome are you hoping for? There’s a continuation only if you keep engaging with the scammer.
      If you cut all contact, the outcome no longer exists.

      Best regards.

        Re:

        If you keep silent and cut off all possibility of being contacted by the scammer, the story will collapse in a few days..

        The scammer wants money and doesn't like to talk in vain to walls..

        See you later

    Yes, it's a scam. I didn't respond and I blocked the user.

    I received the same one, but the commander has changed (Paul Soulier). Given the number of mistakes and the 6 exclamation points, I cried from laughter. Seriously... plus, writing with a Gmail address. Not clever! To be deleted.
