Letter from a near victim of scamming

I was notified by e-mail today that a winner of a lottery had designated me as one of his three beneficiaries and I was to get 2,000,000 USD. I was contacted by Mr. Lorenz Mahmet. BAccCA(SA) H Dip BDP MBL. Supposedly the e-mail came from KAS BANK in Brussels, Belgium. Before I get excited and lose some money I don't have, can you verify if this is a real bank and if Mr. Mahmet is employed there? Your help will be greatly appreciated. I could certainly use some extra money but don't have any to be lost. I have been scammed badly on the computer before and I believe this to be nothing but a scam. They gave me several choices of accounts I could set up starting with a $650.00 deposit. Please help me.

E-mail from scammer posing as KAS BANK

I am very happy to hear from you,I have assisted the local fire department, the Red Cross,some hospitals involved in cancer treatment, and some other charity organizations, in Asia and Europe that fight cancer and diabetes.

However, since i won the Lottery, I have been investing ahead of the future, as i just bought some houses in London, Portugal, United States and also in Ukraine. i am currently on vacation in Europe where i want to participate in some humanitarian act in collaboration with the European Union and i will be there for the next four months just to relax and clear my head. i have deposited your donated funds ($2,000,000.00 USD) with KAS BANK Brussels Belgium.

One amazing incident happened this morning because I got an email from one of the beneficiaries who lives in Manchester, Mr. Hamilton Gray, thanking me for the cash donation to him and his family. This kind of emails i receive from my beneficiaries gives me much joy at least someone appreciates my kindness and he is going to spread the joy around his country.

Mr. Hamilton Gray told me that he received his own funds, though he was a little scared and afraid as a result of different scams going on in the internet today, but he made up his mind, he trusted me and he followed the bank's instructions and in less than 3 working days the funds was deposited in his on-line account he had opened with the bank and he was able to transfer it to his local account. Indeed i can see the smiles from his mail to me.

I have submitted your Name, Email Address to my pay-out bank (KAS BANK ) and the bank's International transfer Unit will send you an email and a letter of authorization to facilitate the disbursement process of the funds $2,000,000.00USD which was donated to you. I humbly urge you to cooperate with my payout bank, KAS BANK in other to enhance a smooth and successful transfer of the funds which i donated to you because you are my only beneficiary who has not yet received his funds.

I am very happy and proud to help you and your family you can reach me on +19022001055 and i also suggest that you also get in touch with the bank via their email to open up communication with them and also set up your on-line account which you would use all by yourself to move the funds to your nominated bank account at your location find the bank details below.

To translate this in a few words: this is a scam. The receiver of the e-mail is promised 850K USD. It is naturally just a promise: the next step in the scam is to pay an upfront fee. This e-mail has nothing to do with KAS BANK N.V. (www.kasbank.com). There is no mrs Loodbrock with KAS BANK.

It is just a scam by criminals.

Bayford Family Fund = Donation Scam

Recently a charitable fund under the name of Bayford is promising huge amounts as a donation if randomly selected people open an account with
