    It seems far too good to be true – Almost as if it was a scam (As in it surely must be a scam)

    Total scam. Almost the same as the one that was posted here a few months ago.

    They’ve put a fair bit of work in. I suppose the rationale is that it’ll appeal to people with more money sloshing around to steal?

    Well, says the first year is free…..

    Suppose it might be worth giving you something so that they know your address and when you are away on holiday?

    It’s a Wix website, there’s no admin details, the “address” is a serviced office, no companies house data or any record of that company name that I can see, and also they’re breaking the law by not having full contact and company details on the website.

    OTOH there’s a sucker born every minute 🙂

    Not all companies that use Wix are fraudulent, but this looks very similar to that Explore Onyx nonsense website

    Very similar with the three alliances in a row against a white background.

    I would even wager that it is run by the same bunch of scammers.

    It is, some of their links direct there — but the Onyx site is shown as a Wix domain unconnected error. I don’t get it though. What’s the end goal?

    Anyone willing to be the guinea pig using Revolut?

    I tried it – stuffed it with a few math correct credit cards, it checks the math, but then just tells you to try another card…so i did, all these cards don’t get merchant checked, so you can’t make the scammer lose coin…they just stuff them in a database somewhere.
    Now i just need to find 2 friends to share the cards with.

    I will try it for laughs later with a Starling virtual. See how I get on. Living in 1 London Road, Timbuktu, of course.
