Apparently the UN wants to provide shelter for the world through it’s UN-Habitat program. You and I both know the UN bit stands for United Nations..but it almost reads like they want to Un-make or Undo habitats…it just reads funny these guys are Lolz but yeah some people fall for it.

Good Day Beneficiary,

After several attempts to reach you, I deemed it necessary and urgent to contact you with your email address and to notify you finally about your outstanding end of year settlement/compensation which is being given out by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme.

This compensation is being made to all of you who have lost your money through any online transactions this year or as a result of any internet fraudulent activities that you might have previousley being involved.

The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-HABITAT, is the United Nations agency for human settlements. It is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote humanly, socially and environmentally with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all.

As a result of the much fraudulent activities spreading over the internet, the Organizing Committee of the UN-HABITAT have decided to get details of most of the victims who were previously scammed by some internet fraudsters. The main purpose of this Programme is to compensate every one of you with a check sum of $500,000.00 each, to help settle all your debts and start a new business.

The Financial Commitee of the UN-HABITAT Programme have deposited your Settlement Check sum of $500,000.00 USD to that the United Parcel Service of Nigeria (UPS), for them to facilitate the delivery to you prior to your contact with them.

Your Settlement Check Parcel was deposited and registered with Reference Number UN013-0156/UPS-UN-HABITAT.

You are to contact the United Parcel Service of Nigeria (UPS), with your Reference Number, Full Name, Resident Address, and your Mobile Telephone Number, to enable them further the delivery/shipment of your settlement check to you.

Note that we have not paid the shipment fee for the delivery/shipment of your check to you. you are hereby advise to contact the United Parcel Service of Nigeria to book your settlement check shipment arrangements. {Oh Really!…I must rush out and do that….Not}

<<<Rings number lol
Like someone is going to send you 1/2million USD just out of the blue……

I took the pleasure of doing some searching on the Net and this little warning was at the very bottom of the offical UN-HABITAT website:

WARNING!
We would like to warn that fraudsters are sending out mass emails in the name of UN-HABITAT claiming to offer compensation and asking addressees to contact them to receive large sums of money. Please do not reply to these suspect emails but report them to infohabitat@unhabitat.org. Thank you.

So there ya go LAME BASTARDS…. 🙂 🙂

I wonder if I could play them off against each other but I don’t know how. They could actually be the same group trying a diff scheme. They both work on the premise of me having to claim a prize which obviously requires some outlay of of small amount of money initially that would probably increase once I was ‘hooked’

Federal Trade Commission

Ok I’m no fun I forwarded them both onto the FTC (as far as I know the authority that deal with this sorta thing) unsure about who has jurisdiction but at least they’ll be aware.

The “Nigerian” Email Scam
Your Safety Net: If you receive an email from someone claiming to need your help getting money out of a foreign country, don’t respond. Forward “Nigerian” scams – including all the email addressing information – to spam@uce.gov. If you’ve lost money to one of these schemes, call your local Secret Service field office. Local field offices are listed in the Blue Pages of your telephone directory.

Foreign Lotteries
The Catch: Most promotions for foreign lotteries are phony. The scammers will ask you to pay “taxes,” “customs duties,” or fees – and then keep any money you send.” Scammers sometime ask you to send funds via wire transfer. Don’t send cash or use a money-wiring service because you’ll have no recourse if something goes wrong. In addition, lottery hustlers use victims’ bank account numbers to make unauthorized withdrawals or their credit card numbers to run up additional charges. And one last important note: participating in a foreign lottery violates U.S. law.

Your Safety Net: Skip these offers. Don’t send money now on the promise of a pay-off later.
Forward solicitations for foreign lottery promotions to spam@uce.gov.
