Thanks to the swift response of worldbid.com the entry mentioned yesterday has been deleted.
Cooperation of trade directory webmasters is much needed to block this channel for advance fee fraud scammers who specialize in investment / loan scams.
Scammer posts on Worldbid.com
In a rather bold attempt to escape negative publicity on KAS Investmentbank aka KAS Loans this scammer has become a member on worldbid.com.
See one of their entries here, falsely assuming the name of KAS BANK!
http://www.worldbid.com/tradeleads/details.htm?bidID=2018261
KAS BANK is a financial institution registered with the Authority Financial Markets in the Netherlands and under supervision of the FSA for Business Conduct in the United Kingdom.
KAS BANK does not advertise on trade directories and really has no reason whatsoever to do so: the simple reason being that KAS BANK does not engage in loans, bank guarantees etc for commercial development. KAS BANK is committed to servicing the securities industry, as is fairly clear from their website. They also have a security warning and some tips on advance fee fraud.

New alias KAS International
KAS Investment Bank aka KAS Loans aka Kasbk aka KAS Finance Company has a new alias!
These phoney bankers are proud to present their new bogus name:
KAS International
Be warned that the people behind KAS International are not in any way affiliated to renowned registered institutions like KAS BANK. Instead, they are a bunch of criminals out to embezzle your money and steal your identity.
KAS International operate the outdated grant scam. In this scam the victim is presented with a grant worth at least one million, completely out of the blue. The message is delivered through spam email from a free e-mail adress. In order to receive the funds, the victim has to pay an advance fee. Don't worry! It's only a few thousand pounds! In the process the victim will give one and all personal data to the scammers. The grant is never paid, the money paid upfront is lost. The criminals are in possession of all personal data of the victim.
What can the victim know?
Learn about 419 scams on this blog and follow links to increase your knowledge about worldwide criminal behaviour.
What should the victim do?
Report to the nearest police station asap.
What can the victim hope for?
Money paid will hardly be retrieved. Future losses can however be kept to a minimum if full report is made to the police and the communities combatting 419 scams.

Another email scam example
Same old story:
This is to notify you that we received a payment advice for the sum £850,000.00 (Eight hundred and fifty thousand British pounds sterling) representing a grant offered by Christian Aid Organization UK. This advice was received from a representative of Christian Aid Organization UK. This instruction was sent to us along with some backing documents authenticating your status as the legitimate beneficiary to the grant of £850,000.00 (Eight hundred and fifty thousand British pounds sterling).
It is important we bring to your notice that the said deposit was made as a SECURITY DEPOSIT. This implies that the funds were deposited in a suspense account pending the completion of the stipulated procedures relevant to the release of the funds. Please note that a suspense account is a special type of account used for security deposits only and operates differently from every other types of account. A suspense account operates like a virtual account and does not have the facilities to conduct any bank to bank transfer. Only an intra-bank transfer (within the same bank) is possible with a suspense account. Therefore, funds deposited in a suspense account can only be accessed by a direct intra-bank transfer from the suspense account into an existing account in our bank.
Due to this fact, it is required of you to set up a non-resident account with our bank as you do not presently operate an account with us. This is very important for the purpose of facilitating the release and consequent transfer of the funds to your nominated account. In order for us to liquidate the financial instrument used to make this deposit and credit the funds to your bank account, we would require to verify your claims subject to your funds release and transfer into your nominated bank account. This is as mandated by law and for reconfirmation purposes. For the account opening process and the purpose of verification, authentication and transfer of the funds to your nominated account, you are required to;

- out of the blue the victim is entitled to at least one million
- but of course papers have to be signed, so some advance fee has to be paid
- the victim pays the advance fee, but will not get his millions
- the money paid upfront is lost, but the personal data provided to the scammer (signature, passport andsofort) are not — they will be put to profitable use by the scammer also, to further maximize losses for the victim

It's the old story: we bring you millions, no obligation on your part. You don't know us, but we pretend we are related to a registered financial institution. Just give all your personal and business information through email. Then you, the victim, have to pay relatively small sums for vague fees, taxes etc. These trifle sums is what the scam is all about. There is no 20 million dollar loan, but the advance fee paid by you - say 10 or 20 thousand - is lost. Trifle sums indeed.

Warning for halaal.net entry for Kasinvestmentbank
Still one more entry in a trade directory for Kasinvestmentbank.
It is here on halaal.net.
I am warning you of a disaster like the disaster that annihilated 'Aad and Thamoud, Sura 41 verse 17.
It is a pity the webmasters of such trade directories do not care whether their customers fall victim to fraudsters!
