That is probably a fake banking site. The registrar is GANDI ("http://www.gandi.net"). You can try contacting them. However, it might be better to inform Alliance Leicester Bank, and hope that they will work on taking down the site.

Since it's hosted in the US, the FBI might be interested.

It's an 'anycast' domain. Traces from NYC end up in NYC, a trace from Melbourne ended up somewhere nearby in Australia, a trace from France ended up in Moscow, RU. Whois on all IPs comes back to Edgecast.

At least one place it points to is in NYC, so FBI may be interested anyway.

The Santa Monica, CA address for edgecast is an added incentive.

BTW: The whois info on the Moscow IP is as follows:

Here's a link to reporting internet fraud in Au: It looks a little cluttered for a gov site but seems like the Oz site for reporting any sort of bank/credit card fraud, spam, and scams.

»www.scamwatch.gov.au/content/ind···d/693900

The link to the gov site in Malaysia listed at various consumer sites is down or broken. Internet fraud has risen dramatically in the last year in that country. Saw one article written as recently as Nov 10th about superfrauds in that country. Google and check the news for more information.

Apparently the holding company Santander in the UK has responded promptly to the "Heads Up" alerts. The fake cloned copy of Alliance Leicester Bank website is now offline allianceleicestercommercialonlinebank.com




The fraudsters may replace it with another, please come back and report any that you become aware of.

I formally withdraw my earlier post and assumption that the fraudulent bank website has been removed in response to complaints.

After my initial optimism subsided, and bothered by the now restricted access message I decided to do a little forensic digging.

I was able to infiltrate some remaining pages and still find cloned bank Logos:




That was not good,

So I infiltrated further, not good at all. Apparently the account stats for a recent "deposit". Presumably the assets of a recently deceased African prince "Mr Kwami Uwame", who probably had an untimely death in an air crash.




Jih Shen Wen:
>http://www.allianceleicestercommercialonlinebank.com/#/jih-shen-wen/
These (non existing) deposits and the account access login codes are probably being given to unsuspecting victims of the ruse. Such account stats are used to lure the victims in paying up front release fees in order to obtain and share in the foreign transfer of these assets.

My initial satisfaction at the apaprent prompt removal has now been replaced by the true circumstances, which are that the operation continues to function and that the opriginal complaints HAVE NOT BEEN ACTED UPON.

Therefore I reverse the conclusion of my original post, and stand corrected.

If the website was suspended or properly blocked, the above should not be available.
