This organization claims to be UNICEF but it is not and demands personal information such as ID
and bank account information.
Transactions are done in cryptocurrency. There is a discrepancy in what the text message says and what the website says in what one does to earn income.

The scammer, named Jonathan Pantajo, reached out via text and emailed me a document that stated it was from Unicef saying that they would be mailing a check for me to use for charity and use to pay myself. They had my number and email and mailing address as well.

A Facebook friend messaged me about getting money from UNDEF/Better Community Development Program. I was given a contact # to call and after paying texted of 1200.00 I would receive money. This “friend” had received 150,000.00. This did not sound like my friend and the language skills were poor. I asked a question of this person that he would know from many years ago. They couldn’t answer it. So I came here. It came through Facebook messenger.

This number calls every day, and has for the past two months. I finally tried to call them back from my office phone but everyone they would answer, they would hang up. So I decided to call from my cell phone, the number they constantly call. Magically they answered. They had my name and the last four of my social security. When I asked what it was in regards to they refused to answer my question or tell me what their company does. He then screamed at me and hung up.
