This scammer has tried to cover all the possibilities regarding whom a previous target of a scam might have been in contact with.
Note also that he tries to speed up the response (before you investigate the truth of this, or ask anyone else for advice) by saying that the compensation is on a 'first come, first served' basis.
There is no compensation to receive. It is a scam aimed at persauding you to pay (more) 'fees' for non-existent money.
