Whois and DNS start elsewhere. The domain is delegated to NS in
securehost.com:

Domain Name:NEWMARKETSTAGECO.ORG
[snip]
Name Server:NS1.SECUREHOST.COM
Name Server:NS2.SECUREHOST.COM

The name servers at securehost.com then state that myviabank.com are the NS.

There are two broken domains in play so it's surprising that it ever worked.
