This is an example of a fraudulent e-mail re promising a huge inheritance through an African bank, on the condition that some steep administrative fees are paid upfront. Naturally, as soon as the victim pays such fees, this is the end of the inheritance scheme.

New scammer alias kasgrouponline.com
Combining parts of brand names and business terms is a favourite passtime of scammers. After KAS Investmentbank, KAS Loans, KAS Finance we now have KAS Group with kasgrouponline.com. A mr. Andrew Pick is posing as representative of KAS Group.
There is no website though. If you are being scammed, you might want to contact the registrant of this fraudulent domain through web2001s@hotmail.com
Kasgrouponline is inviting people to pay upfront fees for opening of a "non residential domiciliary online dollar account" in order to receive a major inheritance - in cash. As soon as such advance fees are paid, the scammer disappears, there is no account, no money transfer.
What can one do to avoid being a victim of the criminals hiding behind kasgrouponline.com?

- be realistic. Don't believe you'll be a millionaire out-of-the-blue, overnight, gratis, because you have won a lottery you never knew you participated in, get a huge grant through a charity for which you did not apply, get a huge inheritance from someone you never knew existed.
- don't pay upfront fees for services banks usually don't charge for
- never give personal information through the web, through websites or e-mail
