A simple email, no links to click.
From the United Nations no less! (a .jp email address.)
And it's in Russian!


Subject: У вас есть пожертво. лларов США

You need to get on that, quick. Don't miss out, reply.

Make sure you reply in Russian though.

JesusAndYourBush

Yeah I'm in for a bit of scambaiting.  I'll take it as far as the 'administration fee'.

That's very weak. They've had at least two months to work out a good approach for spam and that's the best they can manage?

Why not a link to download the tracking app or one addressed to your next of kin confirming cancellation of your benefits as the government thinks you're dead.

you should donate the money to the nhs and get an OBE

There was also 2 attachments. An image and a docx file which I used an online docx to txt conversion site just to be safe, it's a form wanting a few personal details and a photo of my passport.  Is anyone up for photoshopping a Russian passport for Алексей?



I've image searched the photo (after taking that image and cropping it to just leave the photo) and the photo doesn't show up anywhere, and Anna Walter doesn't appear to exist as someone connected to the UN, although apparently she has powerhouse vocals.

Isn't it great when the EU and UN work together to offer a stranger $2,000,000 to fight covid in their city. Sounds like a Farage fever dream.
