{"success":true,"data":{"id":"charity-auction-prize-phish","label":"Fake charity auction claiming the target won an auction item and must pay a delivery or shipping fee before the prize package is sent — advance-fee fraud; real charity auctions communicate winnings through authenticated event platforms and never require unsolicited advance fee payments to receive won items.","description":"Fake charity or nonprofit auction notification claiming the target won an auction item and must pay a delivery or shipping fee before the prize package is released — advance-fee fraud exploiting the trust associated with charitable giving. Real charity auction winners are contacted through authenticated event platforms (Greater Giving, CharityBuzz, Handbid, BidPal) and all prize logistics are handled by the organizing charity; no legitimate charity auction requires the winner to pay an unsolicited delivery fee via email link before receiving their item. This is the charity-auction-specific variant of advance-fee prize fraud, exploiting the combination of genuine excitement (winning a bid) and charitable goodwill to lower the target's guard. Distinct from contest-prize-delivery-fee-phish (commercial contest/sweepstakes physical prize) and lottery-sweepstakes-prize-phish (cash prize narrative) — this targets the charity-auction-winner / delivery-fee pretext specifically. Detection: charity auction + won/winner + pay delivery fee/shipping fee to receive prize vocabulary + no List-Unsubscribe + no In-Reply-To + not protected sender. Trash score: +3.
