Telephone number +22991028851 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "Obi C. John" and using the email address m.g012@outlook.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
Dear Bonafide Beneficiary

The International Monetary Fund Annual Compensation from Benin, West Africa.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is compensating some scam
victims and your email address was found in the scam victims list.
This Money Gram® office has been mandated by the IMF to transfer your
compensation to you via Money Gram® Money Transfer.

However, we have concluded to affect your own payment through Money
Gram® Money Transfer, US$5000.00 pay day until the total sum of $2.5
Million United States is completely transferred to you "the receiver"

Here is the information to pick up your first payment of $5000 through
MoneyGram store close to you.

Money Reference Number (REF): 692 314 15
Sender's First Name : John
Sender's Last Name: Obi
Ref# 692 314 15 (Track the MTCN by
visiting:::::::::https: // secure.moneygram.com/track) to see the
availability of your transaction or you visit money gram store to pick
up the first payment so that we can remit the second payment
immediately.

NOTE: That your payment files will be returned to the IMF within
24hours if we did not hear from you because this was the instruction
given to us by the IMF office here in Africa. We will start the rest
transfer as soon as you confirmed to us that you have received the
first payment. And you are hereby warned not to communicate or
duplicate this message for any reason whatsoever because the US FBI is
already on trace of the criminals from Africa.

Sincerely,
Mr. OBI C. JOHN
Ring us at +229-91-028-851
The email was sent from the email address "MoneyGram International <rosefarley05@gmail.com>", with the Reply-to address "m.g012@outlook.com" and the subject "MTCN Number".

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.
