It's a scam. The FBI and EFCC do not randomly write to people asking if they have been scammed and they also would not refer you to a 3rd party using a Chinese mail provider (365trade.net).

The scammer mentioned is probably the same scammer that scammed you or a member of his fraud ring. The format you got from the fake FBI and EFCC is called a recovery scam. The scammer tries to fill you up with hope of some government company recovering your lost money........ for a fee of course.

Recovery scammers send targeted messages to people they know have responded to scammers. The character who baited a fake conference later got a recovery scam aimed at people who attempted to attend that conference, even though, being a baiting character, she never gave any money to the scammer. But they also send recovery scams to anyone and everyone, hoping that someone they send it to has been a victim.

The real FBI/EFCC/TLA/etc have next to no success recovering money from scammers. They do not hold conferences with the banks discussing how to return huge amounts of money to victims. If you get a message claiming that, it is itself a scam.
