The fake "World Bank Group" email below is a scam. Recipients are asked to delete it and should not follow the instructions in it. The fake email is being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into sending them money or personal information. An advance-fee scam is a form of fraud and one of the most common types of confidence trick. The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, in return for a small up-front payment, which the fraudster requires in order to obtain the large sum.

Attention: Beneficiary,
YOUR APPROVED COMPENSATION SETTLEMENT OF US$10,300,000.00 FROM FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
Due to the ongoing global pandemic, your email account has been approved to receive the sum of $10,300,000.00 USD as a form of relief/compensation fund. The Federal Reserve Bank discovered that Over 40 million people were qualified to receive"Billions of dollars" of unclaimed money around the world. The money includes forgotten social security deposits, uncashed overtime checks, over-due winning/contract payment, Palliative benefits, lost insurance, and tax refunds.
After gathering these sums, a random email selection was done to single out beneficiaries who are qualified to receive these funds, but a lady by the named of Mrs. Shayna Britney from Florida has already filed an application of claim at the Federal Reserve Bank headquarters with some official documents to claim your fund on your behalf due to your "ill health" as she claimed. Please clarify her claims.
Your fund is currently in our correspondent bank in Hawaii, American Savings Bank. The federal reserve bank had to keep a low profile on these transactions to curb the intrusion of impostors flocking the internet trying to claim other people's benefits. The woman who was trying to claim your fund on your behalf is currently under the FBI's custody for further investigation. The main objective of this project is to ease the financial difficulties of a few distressed but lucky individuals. Get back to me with your name, address, and phone number for further details on how to proceed.
Regards,
Mr. Jerome Powell
Chairman of Federal Reserve Board.

The money includes forgotten social security deposits, uncashed overtime checks, over-due winning/contract payment, Inheritance payment and lost insurance and tax refunds.
Our reconciliation teams with the prospectus instrument of the United Nations froze suspected impostor's account. This support was fully effective with the help of the World Bank after a summit meeting in the United States on financial instability issues fluctuating in the economy as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. After gathering these sums, the World Bank provided us with the list of beneficiaries to be paid. A random email selection was done to pick out beneficiaries who are qualified to claim these funds but a lady by the named of Mrs. Shayna Britney from Florida has already filed an application of claim at the Federal Reserve Bank with a power of attorney and some official documents to claim your fund on your behalf due to your "ill health" as she claimed.
