It will be readily understood that once you apply for an online ID and password, you're prompted to pay advance fees for opening a bank account, transfer costs, etcetera. Also it will be readily understood that once you have paid these hefty costs, that is the end of the story. There is no registered bank with a website kasgrouponline.com. There is no Mr. Andrew Pick.
