So, I open my email yesterday. What do I see nestled in my inbox? The most transparent spam I ever saw. Being the person I am, I HAD to mess with this filthy creature. Here is the original spam. I will follow it with the messages that were exchanged…

I did not expect a response, as my information was obviously at least as fictional as theirs. And yet, they responded:
Subject to your compensation funds there are two ways in which you can get your funds either by Draft or by bank to bank transfer, if you wish to receive your payment via Bank Draft you will be paying for the courier fee which will cost the sum of Money or if you choose a bank to bank transfer.do choose from the given options and get back to me immediately.
Respectively.
Mr.David Anthony
At this point, my BS meter was pegging the red zone. So, of course, I had to mess with them just a LITTLE bit more:

I’m sorry, My faith requires that I do not transfer money through banks. The only couriers I am allowed to use by my faith are a special sect of Shakers who are sworn to special oaths of secrecy. Is there some way we can use their services?
It seems I did not lay it on NEARLY heavy enough, because they actually replied! But they did limit the information in their response:
Now I had to call BS on this crook:

Is there a reason that a person claiming to work with the UN has all of his “Official” email going through an AOL account? Is there a reason for such a person to be sending email while the UN is currently closed for business due to a holiday in the US? Is there a reason such a person would agree to transfer fictional money through a fictional organization as the secret Shaker couriers to a person who claims to be a fictional character created by an author who has been dead for a decade? How stupid do you think I am and how stupid are you?
Surely, this time, they would just back off and admit that this victim was not getting hooked? NOPE!!! Here’s the short reply I got:

COME ON!!! So, I had to send a final reply after doing a WHOIS of the domain this criminal was saying his “Official UN” email was part of:
That email address is a fraud. That domain is registered to a private individual in California. If you are going to scam people, at least try to be original.
For those of you who may get these bogus emails, the domains that the UN uses are UN.ORG and UN.INT . Official messages will NEVER come from them through AOL.COM email addresses. And ANYONE willing to send money through secret financial sects of the Shakers to Zaphod X. Beeblebrox III, former president of the universe and CEO of Butlick Inc. is not sane or honest!!! OH! The HUMANITY!!!
