Hello africa, and welcome to ScamWarners.

ALL emails that you receive offering you compensation for being scammed, or offering to repay you the stolen money, are scams.

Sometimes these emails are sent to you by the same scammer/s who originially targeted you; and sometimes they are sent by unconnected scammers to dozens of email addresses that they found online somewhere.

The scammers have no compensation or repayment for you. It is another trick to persuade you to send them money to steal.

Hello Africa

In all cases, the emails you have been receiving are all scams. They are called *recovery scams* and we have a thread about them here

viewforum.php?f=14

They are sometimes the same scammers that have targeted you previously, and are now trying to get more money from you with the pretence that they can somehow pay you compensation.

Please read the forum I have provided the link for, all United Nations/EFCC Compensation emails are scams, any email promising you compensation will be a scam.

There is no money ever going to come to you, all you will be doing is paying for *legal fees* *registration fees* *bank fees* etc, until you have run out of money

Do not reply to them, ignore and delete their emails. They are scams.
