nhbnyc.com presents itself as "NHB Offshore Bank" and is classified by PhishDestroy as an impersonation phishing page. It targets people searching for offshore banking, a niche where victims expect little regulation and unfamiliar brands. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-04. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and reachable.
How the scam works
Fake offshore banks follow a familiar script. A polished site invites visitors to open an account, then asks for identity documents and an initial deposit, often by wire or cryptocurrency. A dashboard may show a growing balance, but withdrawals stall behind invented "compliance", "tax" or "release" fees that only lead to more demands. Victims can lose their deposits, any fees they pay, their login credentials, and the personal documents they uploaded, which can later be used for identity fraud.
Evidence
On 2026-10-17, VirusTotal showed 5 of 92 engines flagging the domain: CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar and desenmascara.me. That is a small share, which is typical of a young phishing domain that most vendors have not yet processed. A low count is not a sign the site is safe. The domain also appears in two AlienVault OTX threat pulses, so other researchers have tracked it independently. Among blocklists, it is currently listed by PhishDestroy.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-10-01 through Ultahost, Inc. and was caught three days later. No real bank operates under a domain only days old. The site is hosted in the United States on AS32561 (Aquiryn LLC). It uses a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so the browser padlock only means the connection is encrypted. It says nothing about who runs the site.
What to do
Do not open an account, upload documents or send money to nhbnyc.com. Never pay a fee to "unlock" a withdrawal, because that money will not come back. If you already transferred funds, contact your bank or payment provider right away to attempt a recall, and file a report with the police. If you submitted ID scans or proof of address, watch for identity misuse and consider a credit freeze. If you reused your password from this site anywhere else, change it there and enable two-factor authentication. Security teams should block the domain at DNS and web proxies, and watch for lookalike domains using the NHB name.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

Cosa devo fare subito?
Urgente
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Modifica tutte le password — e-mail, account Exchange, qualsiasi servizio che utilizzi la stessa password
Abilita l'autenticazione a due fattori (2FA) utilizzando un'app di autenticazione (non via SMS). Disattiva il recupero tramite SMS
Carte congelate se hai inserito i tuoi dati bancari sul sito di phishing
Quali informazioni devo raccogliere per la mia relazione?
Linee guida dell'FBI
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Date e orari esatti — di ogni transazione e del primo contatto con il truffatore
Schermate — siti web truffaldini, messaggi in chat, e-mail, transazioni tramite portafoglio digitale, social media
Tutti gli URL e i domini utilizzato dal truffatore (tra cui nhbnyc.com)
Comunicazioni — e-mail, SMS, numeri di telefono, nomi utente utilizzati dal truffatore
Anche se non conosci tutti i dettagli — sporgere comunque denuncia. Anche le informazioni parziali sono comunque utili alle indagini.
A chi devo segnalare la truffa?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (sistema di segnalazione federale degli Stati Uniti)
Europol — Segnalazioni relative alla criminalità informatica in Europa (UE)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polizia locale — crea un documento ufficiale, anche se non è in grado di agire immediatamente
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Siti web fasulli — cloni perfetti, al pixel, di siti legittimi con domini leggermente modificati
Macellazione dei suini — fiducia conquistata nel corso di settimane tramite Telegram/WhatsApp/app di incontri, per poi rubare i soldi
Truffe legate al recupero dei fondi — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Truffe basate sull'intelligenza artificiale — i deepfake, il phishing automatizzato e i siti generati dall’intelligenza artificiale rendono più difficile individuare le frodi
Come posso proteggermi in futuro?
Aggiungi i siti ufficiali ai preferiti — Non cliccare mai sui link contenuti nelle e-mail, nei messaggi diretti o negli annunci pubblicitari
Verifica i domini — controllare PhishDestroy prima di interagire. Verifica l'HTTPS, l'ortografia e l'età del dominio
