Is fubl-inc.com legit or a scam?
Fake 'First Union Bank International' phishing site impersonating a defunct US bank, flagged by Gridinsoft and Webroot with matching scam complaints.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site pretends to be First Union Bank International, a licensed microfinance bank, but the real First Union merged into Wells Fargo years ago with no international version. Gridinsoft flags it as phishing for credential theft, and Webroot marks it malicious, while scam reports confirm fraudulent broker complaints. It has a login form but no phone or address, uses a 198-day-old domain by an individual with Gmail, and admits in terms it's not a licensed bank. These signals confirm high-risk impersonation with no legitimate backing.

- Do not interact with fubl-inc.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
- Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.

- fubl-inc.com resolves to an IP operated by YottaSrc Hosting and Cloud Service in NL (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
