It would appear that some of the discussions on the above have prompted them to more servers and disguise the WHOIS

http://whois.domaintools.com/bancaremida.com

you will notice that they used privacycontact in Toronto now for the WHOIS contact details, you will also notice that there has been 8 changes to the IP address over the last three years and it is now currently showing as panama.

Should you desire, you can order a reverse IP check through the above, this will let you see what other sites are hosted, this is useful as some servers in some locations really do not give 2 monkeys who they host, ergo, you may find several other 'related' sites

Hope it helped

The other bank mentioed in the first 2 links - First Oceanic Bank are mentioned here [FSA]

List of Unauthorised Internet banks

Also the WHOIS for gruporemida.com [mentioned in first 2 links above] also show the same WHOIS details.

I see the edit button and IP logging has disappeared

At least FSA knows who they are - a useful list.

How First Oceanic can still function baffles me though and looks like their website got a facelift:

Their operation would appear to be illegal in every country in the world including Somalia as an unlicensed bank. Therefore where do their depositors live, Mars?
