The user name and password actually work and the bank website even looks somewhat legit (minus a few typos). Seems the boys are getting a little more advanced...

Yes I already saw it.
I suppose that a potential victim who would try to log in would fall for it because it would seem more realistic to witness the existence of the funds online...

You should report the website in the killing fake sites section.

Hi DH Sizzle

I am glad you have spotted it as a scam,

Albatar is completely right, this is not all that uncommon

I have taken the liberty of posting it in the fake banks and sites section here; http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1539135#1539135

You already know that its a scam so I wont go into too much detail, 2 very obvious signs are;

The free email being used by a banker

The 4470 phone number - they are a redirect service that allowed somebody in Africa to appear to have a UK phone number

You could also throw in the 2010 copyright at the bottom which is somewhat a red flag rather than proof.

The site killers (or fake site inactivators as some may prefer them be called Wink

) should make short work of this.

Nice eye, DHsizzle! A fake site on your first post here, too. Smile

I call those site killers, The Sharks. Wink
