The International Monetary Fund Finance and Compensation Scam

The "International Monetary Fund Finance and Compensation" email below, which claims that the recipients are approved to receive thousands of dollars from the International Monetary Fund(IMF), is a scam that is being sent by scammers to their potential victims. Recipients of the fake email message should not respond to it or follow the instructions in it. Remember, every month, scammers send out thousands of scamming email messages in an attempt to trick recipients into thinking they have won the lottery, or have received money from an organization or an individual.

Potential victims who respond to the scamming email messages will be asked by the scammers to send hundreds or thousands of dollars, which the scammers will claim are for taxes and other fees that the potential victims must pay in order for them to receive their so-called compensation or money. But, once the scammers receive the money sent by their victims, they will disappear, leaving the victims disappointed, frustrated and thousands of dollars poorer.

What if we have been scammed out of thousands of Dollars, How or can we file charges to get our Money Back?! Or will we?

Jul 16, 2019 at 11:02 AM by info

If the money was sent via money transfer services like Western Union, it is virtually impossible to get your money back.

If the money was sent via a bank, you can open a dispute with the bank, which maybe able recover your money.

But, regardless of how the money was sent, please contact the police for help.

I received a message from one of my friends on Face Book that she had saw my name on the winning list when the UPS came to deliver to her the money she won.

So she told me to she was going to send me the facebook link for the agent so I could contact him.

I contacted him Mr. David Lipton SNR 2924417410988809 and he told me that I had won $70,000.00 from the Facebook founder to help some Facebook users and Retired ones. He told me that I had to pay $1,000.00 for the UPS Delivery. He said as soon as I sent the money then they would deliver the money to me in 24 hours. I would like to know if this is a scam. I just want to know where I can report this scam because I am afraid to get this delivery and then be in trouble.

In his message Mr. David Lipton said that this is not a scam and that it is an approved money from

the International Monetary Fund and approved by the government.
