This is the first Email from [email protected] (I’m rich biaaatch)

Hi my friend.
I want to appeal by reaching you through this medium without proper introduction before hand.
My good name is Brian Gross working with the bank in the United Kingdom for over 15 years.
I have a shortfall interest of Four Million, Four Hundred Thousand pounds (£4,400,000.00)
after I helped a politicians with bank loans during their campaign for parliamentary
election. My bank head Office is not aware of this profit and will never be aware of it.
Since then, I deposited the profit fund in a suspense account without a beneficiary, and
that was why I wanted to move the fund out of the country through your effort for our sharing.

As a matter of urgency, I required you to act as the beneficiary of the total amount as your surname coincided with the diseased this will enable the bank to approve transfer to
whomever I present as beneficiary. So to avoid much emphasis, I need to present someone like you who has the same surname.

Kindly respond to this email as your urgent attention is needed to avoid delay and in my

next email I shall provide much details on how we shall proceed to the end.
Best Regards.
Brian Gross

After a couple Emails (and a nasty bloke) I was told to go to “City Trust Global Bank” and given login credentials, here are some screenshots.



There is a section that leads to Coin2Pay including a BTC wallet:


besides that I’m still baiting on for a US mule account to report.

Interesting:
“City Trust Global Bank” has a fake address in San Francisco “3 Abbey Road, San Francisco CA 94102” (it doesn’t exist, only 3 Abbey St, San Francisco CA 94102).
After looking up the “Abbey Road” (mb a Beatles fan) I found these fake banks with the same address (some are already inactive):

“Spectrum Finance LLC” is registered at “3 Abbey St, San Francisco CA 94102” and looks phony as well

IP: 102.89.46.234

BTC: bc1qdnhg7ma8p0vrju0n62u4uhdf585rahxyx5wxdv

(if anyone can track down more info on the wallet let me know, I’m not good at this)

reported:

  • FTC
  • Chainabuse
  • I was thinking of reporting the websites to the registrars as well but tbh that’s a sh*tload of work and I don’t know if there’s any sense in doing that. mb someone here has an idea.

Some funny sidenotes:

  • They didn’t bite my grabify but the fake dashboard logs IPs and the last one before I logged in was theirs… you only had one job scammer
  • Besides the phony looking dashboard they are even lazy AF had a quick laugh in between the anger about those mofos

got 2 money mule/victim bank accounts to report, will just waste some more time with them now
1 Woodforest Bank
2 Broadview FCU
(incase anyone is baiting them as well)

Dear Madam or Sir,

I am reporting a fraudulent website that is being used as part of an online scam. Below are the details:


Website Information:

Registrant Information:

  • Name: Frank Teslim
  • Email: [email protected]
  • Phone: +233.302787773
  • Address: Borstal Avenue, Accra, Ghana, G535

Summary of Fraudulent Activity:
The website claims to represent a legitimate bank or investment service. I was directed to this site through email correspondence in which I was promised access to a significant sum of money. The site displayed a fabricated balance in a fake account they set up. However, attempts to withdraw the funds resulted in an error message claiming the account was “on hold.”

Shortly after, I received an email stating I must pay a fee to activate the account and release the funds. This is a classic advance-fee scam designed to deceive victims into paying money for non-existent services.


Evidence Provided:

  1. Screenshots of the website, including the fabricated account balance.
  2. Copies of email exchanges with the scammers, including instructions to visit the site and their requests for payment.
