🚨 Beware of AML Certificate Scams – A Growing Fraud Trend 🚨 Lately, AML Certification Centre has received a surprising number of messages to our live chat from individuals asking for an AML certificate to “release” their funds from financial institutions. If you’ve come across this request—STOP! This is a major red flag for fraud. And our team always reports such cases to the local FIUs. 💰 The Scam Explained: Fraudsters claim that in order to withdraw frozen funds, recover lost investments, or access money from trading platforms, individuals must first obtain an AML (Anti-Money Laundering) certificate. They may direct victims to fake certification providers or demand upfront fees for this so-called “compliance requirement.” 📢 The Truth: ✅ No legitimate financial institution requires an AML certificate from customers to release funds. ✅ Compliance checks are handled internally by banks and payment processors—customers are never asked to provide their own AML certification. ✅ This tactic is often used in recovery scams, where criminals target previous fraud victims, promising to help recover their money while actually scamming them again. 💡 What to Do: • If you or someone you know is being asked to obtain an AML certificate to withdraw funds, be extremely cautious—it’s likely a scam. • Verify directly with the financial institution through official channels. • Report any suspicious activity to financial regulators (your local FIU) or fraud prevention organisations. As an AML certification provider, we do not issue certificates for individuals to claim funds from banks or financial firms. If you’re being told otherwise, you’re likely dealing with fraudsters.
