The World Health Organization (WHO) email address will be person@who.int.

When someone emailed Dianne Arnold, they received the email below. This is where the scammers asked for personal information that can be used to steal an identity. If you sent an email to dianne.arnold@worldhealthcareers.org, that email went to the scammer. WorldHealthCareers.ORG is not associated with the World Health Organization. Please do not give personal information to anyone asking through an email.
