Telephone number +18082137133 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "Kristalina I. Georgieva-Kinova" and using the email address kristalina.kinova@gmail.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF)
700 19th Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20431, U.S.A

Date: 6/25/2022

IMF EMPOWERMENT GRANT AND DONATION

Dear [Redacted],

REFERENCE: IMF/WDC/0288/1022

We have selected you to receive our empowerment grant.

For more information: Kindly reply via email and send your reference (IMF/WDC/0288/1022) for confirmation via WhatsApp message to the IMF Public Relations Center 1 (808) 213-7133.

Yours in service,
Kristalina I. Georgieva-Kinova
Managing Director, International Monetary Fund (IMF)
The email was sent from the email address "Kristalina (IMF) <giscosme@fundesplai.org>", with the Reply-to address ""Kristalina I. Georgieva-Kinova (IMF)" <kristalina.kinova@gmail.com>" and the subject "Felicitations - Empowerment Grant".

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.
