If this looks familiar then please help and provide us with more information, like the sender or the name/number quoted at the bottom of the email.
I just received exacly the same email as above from the website and paid half of the repayment.
Please add the website to your list.

Thanks for the info Wioletta, it would appear that the scammers use any credible website address in an attempt to con people into sending the money. The website that you gave us belongs to an actual affiliate that we work with and is not involved in this scam.
We are sorry to hear that you have paid half the repayment they quoted as it’s doubtful you will see that money again.
