A new website - Artists against 419 - has identified 53 fake banks and financial agencies, presumed to be Nigerian in origin, The Register reports. Most of these sites, with names such as Apextrustbank or Bondplc.com, are used in 419 advanced fee frauds. Unfortunately, some do look strikingly real. A couple are JavaScript-protected or use a 3rd party SSL service (security certificates) to give the impression they are legit. Besides a few off-shore banks, most companies are registered in the Netherlands, South Africa and in the UK, and very often supported by web hosting companies from the US. | ||
