Guarantee Holdings Ltd. - FAKE Bank

This fake bank currently cannot be taken down. The host and domain registrar are satisfied with the site's owner's "explanation." So in the mean time, we will list the site here in hopes of getting a copy of a scam email with this site mentioned. Then we will report it again with the new evidence.

It is not possible to visit this bank because first, the address is bogus and second, the scammers advertise on the web site: "VISITATION IS STRICTLY & SOLELY ON APPOINTMENT"

They also advertise "Guarantee Holdings Limited is in business for 21 years." Even though the web site was created January 20, 2015.

3) The UK does not have LLCs
4) The UK does not have a Department of Economic Development
or a Chamber of Commerce & Industry or any comination of the two.
5) Their FAQ's are too absurd to be true

7) If you want to kill this site you need the real company (address above) to complain to Nominet - [email protected]
Nominet are generally crap at checking registrant details, but in this case they can point at the UK registered company. You need the real company to tell them that this is a case of stolen identity. It may take a while - their address is just a registered office address along with a couple of hundred others. However, they have significant assets so may be on the ball.

This nonsense bears an uncanny resemblance to a site I posted a while ago
see viewtopic.php?f=9&t=105961
Of course it is POSSIBLE that there are pissant little companies like this dealing in Billions of Pounds/Dollars, but somehow I think we would have heard of them.
Certainly I would expect an internet search to have more than company listings and a mobile telephone number

Guarantee Holdings Limited phone number is 07924339796

I'd expect a company of this calibre to have uniformed flunkies!

Perhaps this is the other part of the scam:

The .co.uk site is hiding the registrant details by abusing the "non-trading individual" opt out. This has been reported to Nominet.

Aha!

All that nonsense about beng an LLC and non-existant UK government departments is because they have copied from the legitimate Dubai company Bronze Wing here:
http://www.bwtradefinance.com/trade-finance-services

Bronze Wing Trading is a Limited Liability Company (L.L.C) registered with Government of Dubai, Department of Economic Development and Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Dubai – United Arab Emirates.

The governing law and jurisdiction clause in the terms and conditions is a complete mess and, as much as it would amuse me to explain why, I see no reason to provide guidance to the idiots responsible for this fake website.

It is beyond preposterous that anyone would defend this scam website and I will consider reporting it to the FCA as this type of fraud represents a direct threat to the UK financial services market and, in the current climate, anything which may be used in connection with the financing of terrorism should be shut down quickly.

To be honest it looks like the work of a bicycle third attempting to pull of financial fraud. Stick to bicycles is my advice.

If a site killer needs a more detailed explanation of why it is clearly bogus I'll gladly provide details by PM.
