Commonwealth Investment Bank - cibnint.com

[firefly]

The fake website pretends to be Commonwealth Investment Bank. The fraudster simply stole the website of Tangerine Bank Canada and uses it under the made up name Commonwealth Investment Bank.

The real Commonwealth Bank is an Australian financial institution founded in 1911.

The fake one was created less than two weeks ago.

The only part of the fake bank not stolen from the Canadian bank is the contact area, using the stolen location of a shopping centre and a mobile phone number.:

Most of the fake characters using this fraudulent bank pretend to be Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, known as Prince Fazza, targeting their victims on Facebook or Instagram in the same way already reported in viewtopic.php?f=11&t=76953.

The fraudster will share his login details on this fake bank website, with the promise of sending them money. The money will never arrive, while the fake bank will be asking for fees to release the funds that never existed.

The scammers use email addresses as f1@hhhamdan-almaktoum.com (the domain name is no longer active, but can appear in the "From" area while another email address is really used) or spoofing the official website of Prince Fazza with bogus addresses as fazza@hamdan.ae or f3@hamdan.ae.

Same Nigerian fraudsters, another stolen bank used a brand new domain name while committing online fraud.

The real Citizens Bank an American bank founded in 1828.

The fake one was registered in May 2019.

The only part of the fake website not stolen form the real bank website is the contact email address info@citiznsonline.com and the area where the victims are asked to provide their personal details to open accounts or log in to check bogus bank accounts the scammers opened on their behalf and showing money that are not real.

This is what the fake website looks like:

The victims are targeted online with promises of prizes won in lotteries, compensations after being scammed and / or inheritances from dead rich people having no family. They will be guided to contact this fake bank, provide their identity details and open an offshore bank account where the funds will be found. For transferring those money to their own bank account the victims will be asked to pay fees after fees.

The bank is fake, same as the bank accounts shown there. The only real money is the money the victim lose while paying fees for obtaining a prize / inheritance / compensation that never existed.
