An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

The UN refugee agency warned against Internet scams aimed at people in poor countries who want to migrate to Europe and North America.

Fraudsters claiming to have links with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) are using bogus websites and Internet chat groups to promise resettlement and employment opportunities in the West for fees ranging from around a hundred to a thousand dollars, said spokeswoman Jennifer Pagonis.
