A Complicated "Beneficiary donation" Scam

The email below was shared to me by someone in a Discord server, and the details were given in DMs later. This scam allows text, call and email, so I decided to use my TextNow number. Any details I gave to the scammer are fake, just to be clear. I am still scambaiting this and getting more information, and constantly wasting their time. I will be updating the messages in the Google Doc provided, hope you get a kick out of this!

These scammers pretended to be a real company, the DHL Express delivery company.

First email: (sent from [email protected])
"I write to inform you that your diplomat agent has been arrived in airport
with your package, his name is DR Dina Ralph . He was with
your package which contain 15 . 9 Million united state dollars.

Email Him or Text him your address on how to reach to your door steep including your
phone number. Don’t let Him know how much the package contain, try follow
the instruction as I told you, below is the contact information,
{This part was blanked out because it was in a Discord server, but the details given are
number: 206 485-1773, email was [email protected] }

Best regard Royal Majesty
prince John from the origin of your
beneficiary fund Benin republic
in Africa where your beneficiary fund came from."

Google docs: (will keep on updating here as I go on)

The reason why I say this is complex is because they try in many ways to convince you and have many contacts. When I thought I had all the info I could mine from them, I confronted them. But, they tried to convince me by sending me emails: they pretended to be the NYC Federal Reserve Bank since I said I was in Manhattan and gave details for it, and they also sent an email from the the DHL Express delivery company (a real company that exists). The emails are attached below.

From DHL Express delivery company <[email protected]>
"{alias} this is last time to inform you about your beneficiary fund again when you continue playing games with it you will lose your generation beneficiary fund Best regarding Dr Dina Ralph DHL manager Benin republic in Africa where your benefits fund came from."

From: 'Federal Reserve Bank' <[email protected]>

"Hello dear beneficiary fund owner federal reserve bank of New York City want to know if you have received your benefit fund a Worth of 15.9 million united State dollars which is amount of your benefit fund ATM Visa card package from your diplomatic agent Dr Dina Ralph DHL manager Benin republic in Africa where your benefits fund came from to deliver to your house address?

Contact Details:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected], [email protected] (Zelle account)
(206) 485-1773
CashApps: $Compton1025, $Doloobih1133

Edit: I just got another email from them, which had the number (206) 479-6105 as a contact detail. These guys just don't know when to stop and to recognise a scambaiter from an actual victim, tsk tsk.

I will report the details to CashApp and Zelle (not sure about Zelle but others have said CashApp is quite active and responds to scam alerts on Facebook) when they are open and hopefully the account will get closed. Please check out the conversation in the docs, it is really funny and I enjoyed this baiting. I will be updating any details to this post. Please give this post an upvote if possible! Happy scambaiting!

A very happy update:

CashApp Support has responded to my messages on Facebook and reported the accounts to the security team, who will look into them. Hopefully they will get suspended and the scammers will lose their money. I am still waiting for Zelle to respond on Twitter…

Update 2:

Zelle has also responded on Twitter and has reported the account! This is really happy to hear as some banks and other organisations have don’t do this. They only sent one message:

“Hi {alias}, we appreciate your reporting this scammer to us as we take reports of scammers seriously here at Zelle. We are going to report this information and forward it to the correct department to further investigate. If you have additional information please feel free to reach out to us.”

This is from @zellesupport, in case anyone else needs to reach them to report a scam.
