Please do not be fooled by these scammers and do not send money to receive money, call or send your information. Why would the United Nations wants you to send e-mails to free e-mail address providers (non-corporate) like mail.mn instead of their own organization website: un.org.
Anyone can setup a free e-mail account at these free e-mail providers and use it for scamming. If you send an email to someone at mail.mn, you cannot tell who will receive this e-mail but, if you send to someone at un.org, will certainly know that it will be received by someone at the United Nations.
A lot of my friends have told me that they have been receiving Nigerian scam e-mails using mail.mn email accounts.

I have also got the same email from "Alexis Zaragoza".
My email was titled "Beneficiary/compensation" and was sent on 17/01/2015 at 09:39:10, asking me to contact Mrs Kethrin ObI at mrskethrinobi-hotmail.com.I was scammed about a year ago and, if I had a bad heart, I would have been dead - the person was good but thank the Lord I insisted in getting back to him.My lawyer who was handing my case at that time told me the government does not operate that way. How can these people sleep at night.So, I was ready for this one. Praise the Lord, as I read it, many questions came into mind, like the email address, email verses registered mail, this agency asking for information they already have. Then I googled the agency and found this site - thanks, it is very informative. Sybil
This guy lives in ota,ogun Nigeria and needs some cash $239.00 because he needs to pay his bills that his daughter is sick. He is in the US Army and is waiting for some papers to sign for discharge? I'm confuse don't know what to do? he is not asking me for my account he just need some of my assistance....what should I do? I thought the US army "helps them in these situations"
This is a scam. Do not send your money to these scammers.
just received today...no way I'm opening it why would the UN send money to an American? seems better used elsewhere, believe me if you actually are due any money you'll get a phone call and they certainly won't ask you for money...don't be greedy and your immune to this c**p.
I just received this exact same scam today. You'd think they would at least use spell check. Lol

The intention is to scam you of your hard earned money. With your information they can call you at anything claiming you are the winner of something and try to get you to send them money in order to receive your prize.

I feel sorry for these kind of people,they want to benefit from lying to a hardworking human being.
I received an e-mail similar to the one above. My instructions were to e-mail Rev. John Hillary email. (western.unioncare 11 -qatar.io) OR call 24 hours Helpline - +229-6732-5317, for any inquiries on the message
The website wemabank-online.org is a fake, it is impersonating the website www.wemabank.com.
Once it says Nigeria, it is a scam. The domain wemabank-online.org is not a website. Type wemabank-online.org in your browser and you will see that it takes you to a VistaPrint Free Website ad.
I received email from Wema Bank PLC (nigeria) regarding compensation but when cross checking I could find no listing for Wema Bank telephone number I was asked to call and still question if the email address is genuine contact-wemabank-online.org
