Zhejiang Yinmao Export and Import Company represented by a Paul Liu Ming is offering a Business Partnership/Clearance Officer position on LinkedIn.
See: http://www.linkedin.com/jobs?viewJob=&jobId=694272 (the link is now dead, thanks to LinkedIn).
This job posting is a fraud. Soon after accepting this "job" the Clearance Officer is asked to pay $2,500 to open an account at KAS Finance International.
KAS Finance International is not in any way related to Amsterdam-based KAS BANK (see http://www.kasbank.com/) and not a financial institution at all. It's just a fraud name.
Evidently, persons who where accepted for this "job", were unwilling to pay company's expenses from their own pocket. One of them called Mr. Paul Liu Ming, who surprisingly spoke with a strong African accent. Commented upon, Mr. Ming stated he had been "away from China a long time"!
1,000,000 $ lottery scam
Someone introducing himself as professor Dan Annah has set up a lottery scam involving 1,000,000 American dollars.
Of course the winner never gets his money, he should contact a Mr. Tony Woods, Private Online Banking Officer at KAS BANK U.K. London (Such a ridiculous function nor a mr. Woods is known at KAS BANK).
His email is: tonywoods2009@hotmail.co.uk Can you imagine that a registered financial institution has no @company.com email, instead uses FREE hotmail accounts? This stinks!

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

Scammer lures victim to use cell phone
Someone claiming to be an employee of KAS BANK sends out emails stating that all bank main landlines are being repaired and that all calls to bank are being rerouted to cell phones.
These emails are on Kas Bank letterhead. He uses he email address of www.transferunit@kasbankltd-uk.net.tc.
At the same time, he is requesting COT fees for a confidential transaction.
This comes to anyone receiving this fraudulent email by a seeminly legitmate barrister in the UK. That barrister sents copies of his identification and his pictures match his pictures at his prominent lawfirm's website.
So, we have people posing as other people from any firm, luring victims to call them on their own cell phone and then request money from them.

KAS International Bank now subsidiary of Natwest
According to scam e-mail messages KAS International Bank is now a subsidiary of Natwest. It has moved offices, apparently, from London to Edinburgh:
8 George Street
Edinburgh, EH2 2,
United Kingdom
+44 845 366 1965
The telephone number in the scam messages however is +44 702 407 8637, which is not a Natwest number. Also, the e-mail address fund.release.dept@live.com is a joke. It is an e-mail account at a free provider.
To conclude: KAS International Bank is not a registered financial institution. It is not a subsidiary of either KAS BANK or Natwest or any other bank. The people behind this scam are fraudsters. There is no mr. David Carl, there is no mr. Richard Hudson at a Microsoft Award dept. People who receive a Payment Advice to the sum of GBP 850,000 are potential victims of advance fee fraud, there is no prize, no payment. All of it is fake, a scam.
