Banking game

    i accidently came across a site Mansion PLC ..apparently an online bank.

    on the VERY tacky front page, it claims "Our Internet Banking is Now MORE Secure." yet doesn't have a valid SSL certificate.
    And based on the server (IIS5) the security would be questionable.

    so, anybody know what their game is? or have you seen something like this before?

    What will it take to become a millionaire?
    Find out the answer to this and many more financial questions by using our online Banking System.

    I'd possibly stick with your instincts concerning this site

    Good looking phishing site though.

    Its not too bad until you click login banner :)

    As joe says i wonder how there making money on this.
    The only thing i can think of is asking for personal info on account signup

    i just did a quick google for "combine the values of old fashioned Community Banking " taken from Mansion PLC [about us] link.. just to see if this person had lifted it off a legitimate site..found this one called GulfBank !!

    don't know what the story with that is.

    EDIT:

    i think the gulfbank is the real one..actually, i don't know.

    Looks very like a phishing site, as said before, once you click the login page!!!
