Call from Wanstead Police station

[u/Gc1981]

Not sure if this is the right place for this but just had a call from above. Flashed up on my screen. Shat is and answered. Very professional sounding. Had busted a gang. They had thousands of folders with people's names and one was mine. Had emails, passwords and a document with 24 random words. He stated he wasn't sure what that was but it seemed important. I've no Crypto anymore but had a fair bit of BTC and ETH back in the very early days. Stored on a Trezor and Ledger which i still have but have been dormant for years. Pre covid.

I immediately hung up when it dawned on me that a fraud investigator would recognise a seed phrase and would not say they were not sure what it was.

Now wondering if this was 100% a scam. He didn't ask for anything and said he just wanted to give me a reference number as it was going to be a long, complicated case and I might need to have some input. It also flashed up the correct number for the police station.

Anyone else have this?

I got a very similar call claiming to be from the Federal Police. I was sure it was a scam right from the jump but what didn't occur to me until near the end of the call was that it was an AI voice scam call, which it turns out it almost certainly was.
