Online users should be aware of fraudulent email messages (like the one below), which claim that victims of lottery scams, internet fraud, and other scams, will be compensated for money lost or stolen by fraudsters. The fake email messages claim that "UN Crime Fighters" and INTERPOL have apprehended cybercriminals and have recovered millions of dollars from them, which will be paid out to their victims. But, the fake email messages were created by cybercriminals to trick their potential victims into sending them their personal information and money, which the cybercriminals or scammers will claim that they need to do in order to receive their compensation.
The cybercriminals or scammers behind the fake email messages will use the names of other legitimate companies, so be aware of similar emails with different company names. This disgusting method of further scamming people who have already been scammed, is now being used by scammers or cybercriminals, because people are now more educated about scams that millions of people around the world have suffered from.
