Telephone number +22990478514 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "Ismail Ahmed" and using the email address official76006@gmail.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
Attention: E-mail Address Owner

RE: COVID-19 COMPENSATION FROM UN COMPENSATION COMMISSION

The United Nation Compensation Commission has launched a $32,000,000 compensation fund to 64 lucky surviving victims of COVID-19 Pandemic. Your email address is on the list as one of the 64 lucky surviving victims and you are entitled to receive $500,000 through WorldRemit money Transfer. We have been mandated by the UN Compensation Commission to transfer your compensation to you via WorldRemit. Money Transfer.

However, we have successfully concluded all the arrangements to affect your payment through WorldRemit.. We have scheduled your payment to be completed by sending you $2,500, 5 times ($12,500)daily until the total sum of $500,000 is completely transferred to you.

Notwithstanding, we can not be able to send the payment to your email address alone, thereby we need your information as to where we will be sending the funds, such as;

Receiver's name:...
Address:.....
Country:....
City:....
Phone number:...
WhatsApp number:....

Contact the director via email at (official76006@gmail.com) with your full information. Note that your payment files will be returned to the UN Compensation Commission if we did not hear from you, this was the instruction given to us by them. We will start the transfer as soon as we receive your information. For urgent inquiry about your daily payment, call/Whatsapp +229-9047-8514 anytime.

Thanks,

Mr. Ismail Ahmed
Director, WorldRemit International Money Transfer
The email was sent from the email address ""Mr. Ismail Ahmed" <infon@freebit.com>", with the Reply-to address "<official76006@gmail.com>" and the subject "Attention: E-mail Address Owner".

The email is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam with promises of a large sum of money being transferred to the victim. Anyone responding to it will be told that there is a fee/tax/insurance payment to be paid to receive the money. This will be followed by payment after payment until the victim runs out of money or realises that they are being scammed.
