Is there a scam using the United Nations paying a soldier a sum of money asking a beneficiary to pay for delivery? Yes, there’s a well documented advance fee scam where fraudsters falsely claim you’re a United Nations beneficiary of money (sometimes saying a UN soldier or agency wants to pay you), then demand “delivery,” processing, or clearance fees before releasing it. These emails or messages are fraudulent. The UN does not pay people or require fees for funds to be released.

I was asked to pay a “release fee” before withdrawing my Bitcoin profits. What should I do? Do not pay it. Legitimate Bitcoin platforms never charge “release” or withdrawal fees to unlock profits. This is a classic advance fee scam. Stop contact, save evidence, and report the platform. Only withdraw through official interfaces. Once scammers get paid, they demand more and funds are rarely recovered.
