    Are you serious? The UN doesnt even have a government. If you want to string them along for the crack, go ahead, but I did it not to long ago and got bored.

    What happens is they need your bank details to pay you or maybe they need a payment from you to release the cash.

    Either way, you get shafted.

    Is this a serious question? How are there still people in the world that have not realised that there's no such thing as free money, and falling for these painfully obvious scams?

    Don't mind them op, you've clearly won $5000.00

    I'd go further, anyone falling for these scam's,next time they go to the ATM the machine should swallow their card and an on screen message along the lines of "you have been deemed to stupid to have a bank account".

    Stopped reading after "Western Union"

    For a legitimate financial service, I can only associate it with pure evil
