United Nations IMF Compensation Department Scams

Recipients of email messages like the one below, which claim they have been approved by the United Nations/IMF to receive millions of dollars in compensation are actually scams or fake email messages being sent by lottery scammers to their potential victims.

The potential victims' information will then be used to contact them in an attempt to trick them into sending money, which the scammers will claim is for processing fee, taxes, delivery fee, transfer fee or some other fee. But, if the potential victims send their money, the scammers will take it and disappear, and not send the money that was promised.

Hello guys,

I need to know your opinion about if I should file a complaint against these scammers, to the Chinese Police Department?
At least, I presume that the beneficiary of the money they asked to be sent by Western Union, is a real Chines citizen!

What do you think?

Hello,

I am Mr. Godwin Campbell, the United Nation Diplomatic afloat officer(DAO) newly assigned to complete the delivery of your package which has been on transit since years now. We understand that why the delivery remains uncompleted since was that the previous diplomat who was initially in charge of this delivery did not meet the appropriate authorities that will release your package.

However, I arrived NY, USA last night and have met the authorities holding your package and your package has been released. The amount in the package remains $14,300,000 and it's still intact but it was not disclosed to anyone. I need your FULL NAME, DELIVERY ADDRESS and DIRECT PHONE NUMBER to complete this delivery urgently and go back to my country. You will show your ID Card upon my arrival at your door step before handing it over to you, that's just to avoid wrong delivery. Call, SMS or Whatsapp me - 1 267-526-5237.

Diplomat Godwin
Diplomatic Tel: 1(267) 526-5237
E-mail: dipgodwin1-gmail.com"
