Premium Remittance Online Bank

The Commission has recently become aware of a website which purports to represent an entity calling itself Premium Remittance Online Bank, falsely claiming to be using the address of 15 Bucks Road, Douglas, Isle of Man IM1 3PZ.

The purported entity Premium Remittance Online Bank claims to offer a full range of online banking services.

The website seen by the Commission gives the telephone numbers +44-2033186011 and +44-7045731182 to contact the legal department of the purported entity. These numbers do not relate to lines in the Isle of Man.

The Commission has established no association between the above entity and any genuine Isle of Man companies.

The Commission has established no genuine links between the above entity and the Isle of Man.
