Kas Bank was established since 1806 and have been amongst the top european banks. Our services are excellent as our interest rate are considerable. Kas Bank Committed to your business. Contact us today for a positive change in your business.”

Just to note: Amsterdam, Netherlands, based KAS BANK does NOT offer loans and project finance. This bank works in completely different lines of business. This is clear from a short visit to their website www.kasbank.com

Unfortunately, some people are easily fooled by scammers who use the text quoted above to attract their "customers".

Fake entry "KAS BANK" on tradeboss.com

Sometimes scammers fool Business-to-Business platforms like tradeboss.com and get an entry for another company's name. This is the case with the entry for KAS BANK on tradeboss.com:



The same entry is found on africa.tradeholding.com, which is in fact the same website as tradeboss.com. So is gulfbusiness.tradeholding.com.

Through such entries scammers try to convince investors they are a banking institution ready and willing to provide them with huge loans - on the sole condition that the victim will pay upfront fees. These fees can easily amount to tens of thousands of dollars. The loan, it will be clear, is never made available. The transaction ends as soon as the victim has paid the upfront fees.

Here is a quote from someone who found the false entry on tradeboss.com:

I personally have not any damage through these criminals. I don't accept to pay any sort of up front fee. Up to know, I have received many same/similar proposals which usually come from web based e-mail accounts such as hotmail, yahoo.com, gmail, etc.

Anybody with a little Internet education should now how companies establish their official sites and arrange for e-mail address for their employees - certainly not through free services as hotmail! There is plenty of facts in such proposals to make one suspicious
.

I advise everybody to search the net and checking who is who. Otherwise, I am asking for official appointment and you can imagine results!

KASS-BK fraudulous e-mail!

A telling communication:

I have got an e-mail from kasbank@kass-bk.com. Sender are Mark Stevenson, Manager of International Banking. I think this is just a Fraud and he is writing that he represent your bank and asking a lot of personal question and saying he is going to transfer 65 million US dollar to me. He says that the money is coming from Royal Bank of Scotland and behind this is a person who call himself brucehiggins@higgingsconsultancyandlegalservices.net and behind him is a person who call himself pedrolopezped@aol.com - it is suppose to be a fund because I am next of kin after a lay who did die many years ago - but I thing all is just a fraud. I am not waiting for any money and I do not know this lady they are writing about.

ATTENTION!
Never give personal information to people hiding behind these e-mail accounts!

Dr Hart Green

A person calling himself "Dr. Hart Green" is purporting to be the Head - Telex and Exchange department, Kas Bank London and solliciting bank account information for transfer of large sums of unclaimed deposits. The email address for this person is Dr. Hart Green [hartgreen01@att.net].

Just a few comments
  • there is no such person at KAS BANK
  • there is no Telex and Exchange department
  • registered financial institutions do not have free e-mail accounts

Mr Andrew Pick GSM: +31649991435

The same old scammer poses as Andrew Pick from KAS BANK, Amsterdam. There is no Mr Andrew Pick at KAS BANK, and this banking institution is certainly not involved in telling people by spam e-mail they will out of the blue receive 18,500,000 USD from an inheritance. Or, why not, 30,000,000 GBP.

It may be hard to believe that people willingly accept that they actually have relatives in Africa, even though in their family's history there is not a single trace pointing in the direction of the dark continent. It must be the promise of sudden wealth - 18,5 million USD is no trifle sum - that makes them pay the "1% inheritance tax".

1% of 18,5 million is 18,500 USD. No trifle sum either, especially in view of the fact that once this money has been paid, the inheritance, the relatives, and first of all the scammer disappear.
