This is definitely legit.

I've spoken to the officer dealing with the case on several occasions, and he asked me this afternoon if I could post it up.

Hopefully they'll be able to help anybody that has been a victim.

The details they are asking for is the bank account you paid the money in to not the account you paid from.
