Lots of fish in the internet sea – a worldwide network of crooks
The e-mail itself came from a Chilean provider, who allegedly works on Reunion via the address more than 10.000 km away, to then supply the ghost address in Benin. The address does not belong to Western Union, of course, but to a scammer from West Africa. The phone number is a fake to be able to give a number at WhatsApp.
None of this is true, but only serves the initiator to get the transfer costs for the money in advance. A bad story, too.
Don’t give out any data, it would be stored on scammers mail lists. This would lead to more crimes being committed in your name.
Dump it in the digital bin.
