Updated Thursday, July 29, 2010 9:45 am TWN, The China Post news staff Beware fraud UN compensation emails: CIBThe Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) said the email told the receivers that they were among 7,814 victims of fraud schemes who were entitled to a share of US$864 million in compensation from the U.N. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has already posted an alert on its fraud-prevention web page concerning the spam, said the CIB. The CIB's international affairs department said Taiwan is not a U.N. member and does not have a chance to participate in discussions or meetings in any of the U.N.'s committees. People should be cautious when receiving emails that seem to be directly from the U.N., the CIB department said. The CIB said it is the first time that the public has seen a fraud scheme posing as something sent from international organizations. Subscribe to The China Post and save 25%.

I was told by friends not to read or reply and one gave me the link to come here. Thank you. September 9, 2010 elumpen@ Unbelievable. The CIB actually feels the need to warn people about this?I got one of these emails. It's hilarious. You'd have to be several sandwiches short of a picnic to actually believe it was written by Ban Ki Moon.
