(Reported via PatrickPretty.com) Universal Private Banking, a unregistered business out of a P.O. Box in Massachusetts  was flagged as "phishing scam" by McAfee Siteadvisor, a free service offered by McAfee, one of the leaders in computer security.

Universal Private Banking website domain shows address of a UPS store (which allows their mailboxes to be referred to as "suites"). It is not registered as a business in the commonwealth of Massachusetts, according to report on BehindMLM. It claims to offer banking services, but there is no record of it having any banking license in any state in the US.


Instead, this "banking service" (apparently unlicensed) is charging $20 to open an account, paying out 1% bonuses to anyone who wants to deposit money, as well as bonus for any one recruited to join (paid to the recruiter).

This is clearly an HYIP with a few tips borrowed from Zeek Rewards (posting one ad every day), and it is being pitched toward victims of Profitable Sunrise and Zeek Rewards, leading many to believe it is a reload scam.
