Cortts Bank Scam Website
Fake Bank websites are often set up by scammers to use in conjuction with other scams eg Sigrid Rausing Beneficiary Scam
These may copy or mimic an existing genuine Bank website, using a slightly different domain name than the genuine bank or may by an entirely "new" bank you probably won't have heard of because however long they say it has been in existence, it does not and never has existed.
Because these websites tend to appear and disappear just as quickly (or be taken down by the authorities) it is best to examine them by means of screen captures when you "catch them" just like an elusive unicorn or the Loch Ness Monster.
Cortts Bank domain name corttsmon.com only registered on 23rd March 2025
Red Flags: Name of Bank "Cortts Bank" very similar to "Coutts Bank" a genuine UK bank favoured by the wealthy. Absence of link to set up an account, only to login. It does not appear that they want new customers.
Red Flags: Mention made of Prosperity. What is "Prosperity" I thought the bank was called "Cortts"? Who believes that you can earn 25% on deposits?
Red Flags: Do Cortts know who they are? Cortts, Prosperity or O2Credits. Copy and paste gone mad.
Red Flags: Prosperity mentioned again, generic stock photo widely used on the internet (reverse image search). They apparently have 6 million customers but there is no independant mention of this Bank anywhere on the web.
Red Flags: Meaningless jargon.
Red Flags: Sounds the Bank has a lot to offer but no way to join the bank!
Red Flags: Another repeat of the 6 million customers claim and now mention of a contact address but strangely no telephone number or even an online contact form or e-mail address.
The actual address Tondu, Bridgend and the postcode do refer to an actual Welsh location but there isn't a Bullwood Road within that postcode. The address does through up some interesting facts when inputted into google. The address is linked with the following Bank websites:

So, that many banks based at a non-existant address raises a few alarm bells. Some of the website addresses don't currently link to a website (they will have done in the past otherwise they would not have been indexed), the domain names are still registered.

Graypeak Bank displays a live website identical to the Cortts Bank screenshots above. The domain name for this fake bank website (graypeakbnk.com) was registered on the 25th April 2025, just a week before this search has been undertaken.
Palmfix Bank displays a website again identical to the Cortts and Graypeak Bank websites. The domain for the Palmfix website (palmfixbnk.com) was registered on 18th April 2025, again very recently.

Comments: looks good, but completely fake. I have redacted my name and address, I did not give my true name and address and yet supposedly a Bank account has been set up without any identity checks and finally except in certain very specific circumstances you cannot open a bank account for another person in their name.
Impressive though to see the amount of money supposedly in the account, again totally made up. Let's have a look at some of the other pages on this "online bank site".
ACCOUNT
HISTORY
Comments: Supposedly 1,000,050 Euros have been credited to the account giving an Available Balance of 1,000,050 Euros and yet there is a -1,000,050 Euros entry giving an uncleared balance of 0.0 Euros. I have never seen such meaningless entries on an online bank screen. They say there is 1,000,050 Euros in the account but the computer screen just shows a webpage created to show these figures and not very convincingly.
TRANSFER
And clicking on the respective Quick Transfer and Swift/International Transfer
All very professional looking but no money has been deposited in the account so no money is there to be transferred out. Supposedly the account will be made active when the fee has been paid. I have never known any online bank account be set up, funds deposited and after allowing for clearing isn't then available for transfer/payments to whoever the account holder wishes!
And of course over-riding all appearances CORTTS Bank does not exist, it is a completely fake bank.
