We are aware of fraudulent emails being sent from domains such as division-aml.com that falsely claim to represent 1Bitcoin.ca.
1Bitcoin.ca does not operate, own, or have any affiliation with division-aml.com. Any message sent from that domain is a scam.
What These Scam Emails Typically Claim
These phishing emails often come from addresses like:
The message may falsely state that:
Your Bitcoin has been placed “on hold” due to AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance
You received Bitcoin unexpectedly and must verify the transaction
You need to send money for a “liquidity check,” “compliance fee,” or other verification payment before your funds can be released
Important: This Is Always a Scam
1Bitcoin.ca will never:
Hold your Bitcoin and require additional payment to release it
Ask for a “liquidity check,” “compliance fee,” or any upfront payment
Contact you from any domain other than @1bitcoin.ca
If an email claims otherwise, it is fraudulent.
What To Do If You Receive One of These Emails
