UVB Banco

Continuing my quest and poking around at the other beneficiaries of Questus, at first glance UVB Banco kind of didn't really bother me, and it still sort of does - but I guess that's not completely true, I wouldn't feel the need to write about if it didn't bother me.

Here's my problem - I started reading their website and something jumped out at me immediately - they have two menu items title "Black List" and "Black List Hungary" - apparently a bunch of people are going around impersonating the bank and trying to pass themselves off as officers. I'm sure this type of stuff happens to Citibank or Goldman, but we don't really hear about it, or it's buried, it doesn't make the news, or the perps are caught before it really goes anywhere.

So then why is it that every single time there's something that has to do with Questus, there's something going on that's not completely kosher? I'm reminded of the line from Gross Pointe Blank - "If I show up at your door, chances are you did something to bring me there".

I did a little more poking around and here are a whole bunch of the inter-related companies of UVB Banco:

LTX Consulting - go to the commodities page and it's the exact same as the one for UVB
UVB is also part of the Bonazzoli Group
Oceanica Indonisia is the same as LTX and UVB - you can find them through Bonazzoli site
Here's a random archived page of an older UVB site

For now at least, most of these are just bookmarks so that I know where to come back to in the future. They are probably all subsidiaries of a parent company somewhere, who knows.

It just seems odd, especially if there are people trying to impersonate them.
