That just doesn't seem right to me. I mean, I **LOVE** the comcept, but their site claims they are 100% anonymous and NOT DOMICILED in any country, they are strictly an internet entity.
To my way of thinking, if that is SOMEHOW true, then they answer to nobody. That is never a good thing.
In the past, the Swiss banks were famous for their numbered, private accounts. But they still had to answer to the Swiss government. So there was at least SOME oversight.
The domain name has been registered since 2008, but a Google search shows very little about them. Mostly people asking if anyone has had experience with them. Not a good sign.
Unless they can prove themselves, I would avoid them. Maybe time will prove me wrong, but something is simply not right here.

I wouldnt trust it honestly....it just seems too....⊗⊗⊗⊗? the skype thing is whats throwing me off for the most part. most legit businesses use a third party company to offer live chat support. Another thing throwing me off is the whole 'backed by gold' speal... a legit company would be wider known even if it was that secure and private...
I dunno, open an account and make small deposits to see I guess? I honestly never heard of it till you posted it

Also, on their front page, one of the features is that you can withdraw funds at ANY ATM IN THE WORLD. Sounds great, but when you read their FAQ, it states: We are still working to launch the debit card program, which should be ready soon. Because we are offering fully anonymous bank accounts, many debit card providers are not willing to work with us, because of banking regulations which require them to identify each cardholder. However, we are in negotiations with some solid offshore providers, and should reach an agreement soon which will allow us to issue debit cards to eNumbered account holders.
There are simply too many red flags here to take this seriously. Like I said, maybe time will prove me wrong, but I certainly wouldn't put MY money in there at this point.

I've never even heard of anonymous bank accounts. This is very interesting to me, especially since I'm just now hearing about this. This will give me something to do tonight. Time for Research
BTW I still wouldn't sign up to them, but it is interesting.....

jeffweico has highlighted important parts to keep in mind. Besides the fact of debit card program, their "existence" since 2008 with no growth and "backed by gold" nonsense is a huge flag to me. I have to say my gut feeling is that any money sent better not be absolutely of value to the sender...

Interesting website, I'm going to sign up for it and see what they do.
EDIT:
Doesn't seem to be too useful, and their website lacks of instructions

Even if the account itself is 'anonymous' there will always be a trail back to you when you withdraw (ATM cameras, address that the debit card gets mailed to, etc.) or transfer your money.

I think it bull****. I signed up, and they dont give you a real bank account number or routing number. They give some random generated number. I thought i can use there account to link to paypal, but nothing like that. You can add money to that account with western union and stuff. I went ahead and set up a deposit , but didnt follow through and every day 2 times a day i got reminder emails to make the transfer. They are quick to ask for money to be deposited more than anything. I say if they cant link to paypal, GTFO. Just a bunch of scumbag scammers if you ask me.

Hi R****n,
Unfortunately, you can't use eNumbered to verify your paypal account - they don't accept us as verification procedure. cheers, Yitzhak
Confirmed useless....
I signed up and sent a question and the reply is above so there you go

I might take the risk, and give this a try, just for the gold. If the gold really comes I will be happy, because the price of Gold will be going up soon, AGAIN. There are vending machines that gives you money for gold, as well.

Ha mattyt what are you doing on that site - so innocent =P
Just messing but seriously - briefly perused it (geez not good for work for sure but hey whatever) - seems like the owner was debating a bit. Might be worth to try and talk to him directly.
Regardless, I still don't like that setup and lack of bonafide success stories.
