Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The email message below, which claims that the recipients(scam victims) are approved to receive thousands of dollars in compensation from the United Nations(UN), is a scam that is being sent by scammers to their potential victims. Recipients of the fake email message should not respond to it or follow the instructions in it. Remember, every month, scammers send out thousands of scamming email messages in an attempt to trick recipients into thinking they have won the lottery, or have received money from an organisation or an individual. Potential victims who respond to the scamming email messages will be asked by the scammers to send hundreds or thousands of dollars, which the scammers will claim are for taxes and other fees that the potential victims must pay in order for them to receive their so-called lottery prizes. But, once the scammers receive the money sent by their victims, they will disappear, leaving the victims disappointed, frustrated and thousands of dollars poorer.

I advice you to reply for details on how to receiveyour fund including the money you lost. please take it very serious.Thank you & God bless you.Mr. Robert McPetrie. 1 253-214-7933"Here is another scam.
me 2; this morning around 2:49 I received the same message from miss meagan ramon email is resmaun2-gmail.com I was so shocked
Received via email:"'This morning I received an SMS from Ms Meagan Ramon telling me I had been allocated950000 pounds.The very obvious clue to the scam was the e mail address it you were asked to reply to was meagmonsa-gmail.com , Probably a South African e-mail address. The cell number was 073 560 2713 (South Africa)The UN must really be struggling to have to use gmail addresses."
Yes I got that SMS saying I have won that amount of money
Received exact same SMS.
I also got this Meamonsa3-consultant.com from the past Months. Even today she is after me claiming money for the postage fee which is R2850,in order I can be able to be compensated. My guts are telling me there's something fishy going on here. Her nummber is 0713534154
I got the message this morning.
This very same thing happened to me when I recieved the very same message in the past month, and I replied to it and 2 weeks later I'm asked to deposit some cash into a Nedbank account with a nmae of a lady called xhathI n.a.I must say I'm really disappointed with myself for not seeing this from the onset that I'm being scammed, now I owe my colleagues some cash after I borrowed money from them to do the deposit, wow this really opened my eyes, these people are so heartless for sure.
Received this:"Hi, United Nation has allocated you with £950,000; contact Ms. Meagan Ramon on email: meagmonza2-gmail.com to redeem."
I got onto this field yesterday. that lady is a liar. Don't ever respond to that lady, please.
I've been almost scammed today, it happened to me a few months where I was told about a late uncle who moved to united kingdom and had died and I'm the only relative they could find and that I've inherited millions of pounds so I went on with the procedure and the "lawyer" who handled everything even sent me a death certificate of the deceased letters from the bank and every document he could to make this seem real.I've even sent an id document of mines my address and everything then my husband decided to Google the lawyers name and google results came out that victor boma does do inheritance scams...then he asked for money to proceed with everything then I decided to ignore his emails and stuff until today where it almost happened again with Meagan Ramon told me I was awarded for a compensation fund when I googled her name it came down to a scam.
