If what you were selling was legal, you have nothing to worry about. That looks AI-created to me, though. What is interesting is, according to the web, this was seized in March 2026; it seems odd they are just now contacting you.Posting software for sale online give me this warning
Bottom line: This looks like a scam or phishing lure that's piggybacking on a real law enforcement operation to add credibility. Real details (the operation, the tip-line address, the Europol URL) are being repurposed in a fake-looking graphic, likely to get you to click something, reply, or feel pressured into "clearing your name." I'd treat it as not legitimate as presented — don't click any links or reply to any address in the image itself. If you want to check your exposure, go directly to Europol's site or the FBI's own domain by typing it yourself, not through this image.
Real FBI/DOJ communications don't look anything like this: no comic-book illustrations, no dramatic "surprised hacker at his desk"

Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha.
What a joke! What dumbass came up with this scam?.
#1 Law enforcement would NEVER send out crap like this.
#2 Law enforcement would never send out cartoons.
#3 This looks like some teenager concocted this.
#4 This is a civil matter. You would be initially contacted by an attorney representing the affected party.
