Next, why would the FBI be called in on this. You're in New Zealand and from what I understand, aff4you is in Europe (if I remember correctly, they claim to have offices in Russia and England, but I could be wrong). Why would the FBI get involved?
Don't get me wrong. I'd be more than a little freaked out to receive a call like that and the proper authorities should definitely be notified.
IMO, I would return their payment, as it was given with the expectation of your promoting their brands. Even if they are the scummiest of the scummy (which I suspect they are), two wrongs don't make a right.
