now they have set up an entire bank..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8164842.stm

Scammers have targeted a town on the Uganda-Kenya border with an elaborate fraud - setting up a fake bank and taking deposits, before fleeing.

The bank opened an office in Malaba town, advertised on radio and took $100,000 in deposits over two months.

But when investors turned up to reclaim their money, all they found was a note saying: "Sorry the bank operations have been moved to a new place."

an even bigger scam is to set up a bank then pretend you're going to fail and collect megabillions from the gov to prevent it 🙁
