According to one of the victims, sharing the details of the scam - https://www.scamsurvivors.com/forum/vie ... &start=160 lkate3070@gmail.com - the fake banks are used also in romance scams.

The fraudsters, abusing stolen pictures of porn stars, are contacting older men online, pretending to be in Ghana where thy have some money left after the dead of their father. The scammer shares the login details on their account of the fake bank, as a proof the money are there and are asking the victims to open a bank account on trustcommercialonline.com, sending all the details about themselves - location, email address, phone number, copies of their ID documents.

A variation of the scam is a fake male profile, usually business man traveling abroad, asking for financial help and showing the victim his bank account as a proof he can repay the money borrowed.

There will be never ending fees to pay for activating those accounts, before the money can be released. Needless to say, the only real money is the money the victims will lose during the scam.
