That's a very interesting one and I doubt that I've ever seen one quite like it.

It's a very technical and fairly obscure topic and though, on its own it appears to achieve nothing, if it were used as a means to verify a fraudulent transaction it could be very useful to a scammer.

The site content is difficult reading and intentionally obscure but is designed to look like a genuine government department involved in finance. A bit of a giveaway is that there are no contact details and it isn't even possible to determine what country it is supposed to represent and there is no mention of any other government body as you would expect, because normally you'd expect this body to be subordinate to another major department of state.

I can see how it could be used and that would involve high-level sophisticated financial fraud.

Actually the title of the alleged government department - Offshore Mergers & Acquisitions Authority - is daft, because governments have no authority over offshore companies and, by logical deduction it's easy to track down mention of this fairytale organisation on the internet.

On that basis it appears to be likely to be a Japanese based boiler room scam hard selling worthless shares by cold calling victims.
