    Another clue is that any contact for a real bank is not going to have a hotmail email address.

    Above is Prestige Bank's entry on FDIC.

    This is no doubt a legit bank, the only question is whether that web site is an authentic Prestige Bank promo.

    Sounds exactly the sort of scam that's designed to obtain people's legitimate credit card info.

    Think about it, once you "apply" they'll have all the info they need to use that major credit card they insist you have -- including your billing address (which in most folk's case is the same as their home address).

    1. The bank doesn't exist.
    2. Many mispellings, typos and incorrect grammar throughout the website.
    3. Their use of a "doctored" Bank of America card.
    4. On and on and on and ...

    STEER CLEAR OF THIS ONE!

    Just got a response from Visa.

    The matter is being handled by their Fraud Control Unit now.

    He reads this I think - the misspellings have been corrected, and the olympics logo is gone.

    Just got off the phone with friends of mine who are LEOs. I told them the whole story. They had to admit it was a smart con.

    At any rate since no crime has been committed by their definition. I was given three agencies to contact on Tues. It will mean some explaining but the information provided here will help. So for the sake of doing the right thing I will contact these agencies.

    Best regards,
    Mirage
