Victims of broker or crypto losses are often steered toward a second act: open a “transit” account, pay for a certificate, wait for a rolling-reserve style release. One brand that shows up in those scripts is OPM Security Corporation (sometimes styled as a bank on sites such as provincebank.com), paired with letters that claim to come from a Panama Financial Crypto Commission (PFCC).
A quick check cuts through the theatre. Material published via opm01.com reproduces warnings that Panama’s banking supervisor has no record of OPM Bank / OPM Security Corporation as an authorised bank or fiduciary, and that a separate OPM corporate group disowns the “bank” branding. The PFCC name, meanwhile, is widely treated as a spoof regulator: official-looking “board decisions” on lookalike domains are part of the trust stack, not proof of a refund rail.
Local “legal service” letterheads and named lawyers may sit in front of the same fee ladder — opening fees, transit certificates, unlock costs. The company name on the contract changes; the ask for more money does not.
Verify any bank on the real supervisor’s register for that country. Verify any “commission” on a government domain you typed yourself. If release of funds requires you to fund a new wallet or certificate first, stop and use Get help instead of the next invoice.
If this pattern matches something you’ve been offered, start at Get help. If someone is already pitching “recovery”, read Fake recovery before you pay another fee.
