Seker Bank Offshore sbankoffshore.com - Any info about this financial institution ?

[Nikolas]

Dear All ,

hope you are having wonderful holidays , one of my clients was contacted by Seker Bank Offshore ( Åžekerbank Offshore ) .

The bank seem to operate with a North Cyprus banking licence , they offer remote account opening and multi currency accounts .

Agents that are working for them require 10 k deposit for a corp account , they say that Seker Bank Offshore part of Sekerbank Turkey .

Anyone has any info about this organisation ?

Thanks a lot !

This is a scam. This is not actually Åžekerbank. You are being deceived by either absolute moron agents or criminals.

The website is such an obvious fraud. If you believe that website is how a bank like Åžekerbank would communicate, I have news for you. The English is terrible and the promises they make are nonsensical. All the documents are either cookie-cutter templates or copied from other banks.

I don't have the patience to go through this again but this looks just like a clone of what was done previously to Denizbank, when someone set up fake websites pretending to be the bank's TRNC offshore branch. Read this thread: Is Euro Deniz IBU Bank legit? It's the exact same thing again.

If you don't want your identity stolen and money lost for ever, don't sign up with this.

This is the probably the answer to your question.

Thanks a lot Sols .

Just took a look at the discussion about Euro Deniz IBU ,

Seems that also the guys from Seker Offshore are trying to get some money in the same way.

Anyways I sent an email to Åžekerbank Turkey about this case .

How comes that those guys still have agents ( law firms ) that are promoting this kind of "service" ?

 

[Sols]

They are either in on it or they have been fooled by the scam. A lot of agents perform terrible KYC on their partners. The agents get a commission. Unscrupulous or incompetent agents don't ask questions, especially when the commission is high.

Make sure that a law firm actually is a law firm. Are their members members of the local bar association? Is the agent licensed and supervised? Can they be verified?

Pro tip: if you see a bank with a "Tether" logo at the bottom, it's a scam

 

[rey skywalker]

Guys thank you for so useful information .

Seker Bank Offshore site is a fake , confirmed by Åžekerbank Turkey and by Åžekerbank Kibris ( North Cyprus )

I have contacted them thru FB and they recalled me back , had a brief phone call with a guy from their corporate dpt and okay his English wasn't so good but he got the point. so they kindly sent me a feedback :

They have no relations with sbankoffshore.com and they recommended to avoid any kind of cooperation with that organisation.

Åžekerbank Turkey

Şekerbank Kıbrıs

Due to my experience it was quite suspicious to hear that a bank is calling my clients offering such a suspicious service.

Regarding Euro Deniz I have no experience with them but it's quite to easy get some info on this forum and on the web to understand that that company is not very genuine.

 

[Sols]

Thanks for taking the time to confirm this with the bank directly, @Nikolas. thu&¤#

[Nikolas]

Thanks for informing about your point of view about this fake organisation .

Hope that the shared information will be useful to the people that they will try to approach .

Anyways the legend and the services are very similar to Euro Deniz IBU , same jurisdiction as well , maybe the guys are on the same boat ?

They are exploiting an effective weakness in TRNC and some people's desire for old-fashioned banking secrecy.

The central bank of TRNC issues licenses to offshore banks (calling them International Banking Units or IBUs). These serve exclusive to the foreign market.

Because of its politically strained situation as an unrecognised, self-proclaimed country, TRNC itself cannot sign up for CRS. As long as Turkish banks are happy to provide correspondence accounts for TRNC banks, those banks will continue to be a place for secretive banking.

Combine this with the barely functional regulator (Central Bank) which does not list banks' URLs or even issue notices to the public warning about and people seeking to hide their money, and you have a fantastic opportunity to defraud people.

If I'm not mistaken, some people even got accounts with the fake Euro Deniz IBU, which turned out to be subaccounts with a bank in Botswana. The key to running an effective scam like this as long as possible is to provide some buyers with the product/service, even if just temporary.

i not have sub account, i have full account , i my company is the beneficiary of the account , is a full linked swift no fake bank can obtain that
i am working in finance 30 year , again give me another fake bank who can provide my company as beneficiary i open account at once, by they way trnc as quite strong central bank and is not easy at all open a bank there , but ok i am a troll working for eurodeniz.
bye the way i lost money with fnbe much more than expected , so not tell me that cyprus south is safe jurisdiction, eurodeniz was there before fmbe even exist

 

[Nikolas]

Rey , guessing that we are going off topic but anyways thanks for your point of view .

The original discussion was about Seker Bank Offshore that is a proven scam and a fake web site .

Information confirmed by the HQ of Åžekerbank Turkey .

Honestly I know that few agents in Estonia were proposing Euro Deniz IBU as a reliable bank but their reputation is not very good due to loads of negative comments on the web .

Apparently there is no people happy with them , stolen funds , fake compliance , web sites not working , no traceable managers on professional networks .

I am just a bit curious , you have a direct swift with them in TRNC for your company ? How much they charged you to have it ?

 

[rey skywalker]

Yes may be i am off topic sorry , my point is all this super expert they are try to sell us something, honestly all you find on web cannot be trust good or bad, of course on web there is tons bad reports is the only one people publish.
If you look trustpilot of revolut is disaster , but may be 1 % of unhappy customer do not means revolut is a scam, the same for transferwise
In particular about TRNC i live there , i know very good the people working in eurodeniz , and general i not like when people like super expert about something they not know
In particular about seker , i have been in their office is same building of seker bank kibris, but they have nothing to do with seker ibu.
That is managed directly from Istambul\
If you go to seker ibu office you will find only a old turkish guy who not speek any english , who will told you only i not know nothing call istambul, obvoiusly is there for central bank requirements.
In the end , not trust anybody, check all things buy yourself , do not trust me as well , may be i am paid by eurodeniz and seker for making public relation😉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a long and prosperous year with 0% tax rate

A bit of an old thread but figured I'd chime in to answer the question of how/why do law firms promote these scam/fake banks.

The answer is quite simple: they don't know any better.

The reason I'm looking at this thread now is that my firm got an unsolicited letter from "Sekerbank Offshore" a few days ago, promising the moon for our clients and high commissions for us. Obviously, we know better than that and it was clear in an instant that something's fishy, but many firms/agents, especially smaller and less professional ones, get quickly blinded by the $ numbers, as well as the seemingly amazing way to finally get their clients what they all seem to want (100% banking secrecy, remote opening and no KYC, anyone?)

That's how these operations strive.

 

[Nikolas]

Probably the guys behind this " Financial Institutions " have a good knowledge of clients needs.

The "product" is developed following certain guidelines in order to be very attractive : No Fatca - Crs , Remote on boarding , No Kyc .

The weak point about them that they sales-force seems to be a very low qualification group of ladies from Belarus , Ukraine and Russia.

Now they are contacting law firms and promoting Cleveland Bank Offshore and Seker Bank Offshore financial services.

Back in the days the same group of scammers was working on Euro Deniz IBU.

There is a big community of people that lost money with those scammers and there is a big investigation behind that.

I was contacted by this group of people and the results of this investigation will be soon on line.

 

[rey skywalker]

hm again , mud and mud , so let me guess i should use capital security bank ? because i am sure they are the only alternative?
cani have an alternative that is working normally ? i used Eurodeniz in cyprus last 2 years already and no problem , i visited their office wich is small but is still in same place last 2 years.
Let face it all our super expert they put mud on altenative banks putting tons of mud and non sense, a bank exist due to their avaibility to receive funds all the rest is made to deceive clients

 

[Nikolas]

Rey , Just wondering if this kind of information is touching you personally .

I am just talking about facts and about a structured scam organisation that is fooling people out there .

You are the only happy client that had the opportunity to bank with Euro Deniz IBU.

Maybe you can also ask the guys from that office why they disappeared after stealing funds from customers ?

Why the same people are contacting on behalf of new offshore "banks" like Seker Offshore Bank and Cleveland IBU ?

Why all the mentioned structures are working through African "correspondent" banks and the payment details are very similar ?

Why all the web sites that they use are on same traceable servers and the web sites are developed by the same coder ?

And finally when they will loose their Russian accent ?

I bet you know all the answers buddy.

 

[rey skywalker]

I am not agent and i not try to sell anything, is just live in north cyprus , i not like when people put mud on things they not know eurodeniz is own by emirates nbd , i have been in their offices and i talk to general manager at least 1 a mounth, he is a turkish russian natonal, they have a sales team of russian because majority of clients are russian.
The correspondent bank is in africa because of less compliance required, but probably mostly of non happy clients here try laundering money than they are surprised when bank close their accounts, in trnc there is rules of law , if you have a problem take a lawyer and sue them, in 3 months you will get your money back , and is faster than in south cyprus like in fmbe , where all funds has been confiscated.
Just please , do not try sell me csp as secure and regulated bank, i had account with them , i was never able to get out funds from them, please

 

[workthearts]

It would be nice to hear from an account holder that they are using this bank account successfully or got scammed ... also, can they accept swift transfers from USA

 

[rey skywalker]

I am not their clint, but if you want when i am in nicosia i can go and ask some questions, i am sure they have use accouts their fees are u in usd so i guess they have usd let me know , they have online chat you can ask them directly
