The fake website new-riverbank.com claims to be a "neobank" called New RiverBank.
The website has no physical contanct details (address or even telephone number) or any indication of who is running it.
From the fake website :
That's not how neobanks work - to hold client funds they must either hold their own banking license or partner with traditional, FDIC/regulated banks to provide services. There is no evidence that "New River Bank" hold a banking license or are partnering with a regulated bank (it would be declared on their website if they did).
The fake domain new-riverbank.com is registered to:
Legitimate banks do not have their domains registered to some random individual.
There were previously 2 LLCs registered in the name of New Riverbank, both are now disolved (one for failing to provide their annual report)
The website has no physical contanct details (address or even telephone number) or any indication of who is running it.
