Fake banks are set up for various types of scam. In the case here we look at a fake bank used in inheritance scams.

Victims are contacted online and informed about a huge amount of money they can receive. One options is a unknown dead relative or someone having the same family name as the victim. Another option is a dying widow, willing the donate "her" fortune to someone promising to use the money for the good causes like helping orphans and old people.

Following the initial messages, during which the victim is asked to provide personal information and sometimes even copies of his / her identity documents, the scammer will direct the victim to a bank where the "inheritance" is supposedly deposited. The victim will be asked to open an account on that bank, with the promise that they can transfer the inheritance money from the original bank account to their bank account on the same bank and after that into their own bank account.

After opening an account, that account need to be validated. For doing so a fee needs to be paid.

Getting the account validated will not allow the victim to transfer any amount. Because the money is in the bank custody for a while, there are other fees to be paid.

For how the entire scam works, please take a look at viewtopic.php?f=6&t=62973, where another fake bank created by the same fraudster was reported back in 2017.
