Western Union has advised the public to ignore any email which informs recipients that they are richer by $2300.

People who called the toll free number of the money transfer company in the UAE were told yesterday that hackers were using the internet to send spam. "It is fake. We are receiving a lot of complaints. We transfer money from people-to-people and not through emails. The address being used by the sender is not ours," a Dubai resident, who had received the email, was told by the person manning the toll free number.

He was told that the email, however, was not a virus.
