Thanks for the help malu53 .

The link does not show anything on my computer ?

She sent her passport to the fake bank, could she have problems ?

My boyfriend found "proof" his bank is fake, the website was fake and his taxes thing is fake.
I hope she will admit she has not seen the guy.

Thanks for the help malu53 .

Please post a link to the fake bank website so we can take a look at it. We can also report it for fraud.

The site has been suspended, probably for fraud, which was a red flag for my boyfriend (he's been suspicious from the start)

He said he wasn't sure his mum was saying the truth when she confirmed having met him, she was on her guards. It will be difficult for her to admit the truth, knowing her, she is just too proud...

Legitimate businesses have no need to hide behind the anonymity of privacy protection and don't register their domains for a single year. They also don't get their domains suspended.

The real Von Roll Privatbank can be found here bankvonroll.ch - they do not have a branch in Cyprus and they are unlikely to even confirm if an account exists.

[Kyra]

Yes, he found that out.

He sent an email to the real bank to ask for more detailsm they'll probably answer this website was a fraud and that they have nothing to do in Cyprus, he will show that to her so she cannot deny.

She has been sent false documents with the bank adress in Cyprus. He checked, this adress does not exist.

He doesn't understand how she could be manipulated like that, as she is more of a paranoid person originally...

[Kyra]

We sent an email to the real bank asking if they have or had a bank in Cyprus but they dit not answered yet. However without that kind of proof it is difficult to 100% prove the scam.

[Bryon Williams]

It is 100% a scam as already proven in this thread.

Hi everyone

I haven't been there for a long time.

Things have turned out for the worse...

It's been almost 4 years she'd known this guy and she is still convinced he is real.

She stole money from us to send to him. There a violent fight, she called us traitors and left one year and half ago. We don't know where she is but she contracted many more credits and she mortgaged her house.

We live in here house and she want to throw us out so she can sell it and sent the money to her "fiancé".

This is a well organised network. She certainly met with a "lawyer" in London, an accomplice, who told her about all the great financial placements she could do with the money, etc

The situation is really really bad. I would not have thought it will end like this.
