Please note:
1. This e-mail does NOT originate from KAS BANK N.V., a bank established in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 1806.
2. An opening fee for a business account of USD 485 is clearly a scam. Once the victim pays this amount, he will not hear anymore.
3. The website: www.kasbank.kaszb-nv.com is a fake copy of the original www.kasbank.com.
MyKasNet.com new fraudulent website copy of kasbank.com
KAS BANK N.V., a Bank incorporated in the Netherlands, is supervised by the Dutch Central Bank (DNB), the Authority Financial Markets (AFM) and (for our UK activities) by the Financial Services Authority (UK) and (for our German activities) by the Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin). We are located in Amsterdam, Frankfurt am Main and London, and are primarily active in the securities industry.
We have no relation whatsoever with the people who illegally copied our corporate website www.kasbank.com. The illegal copy can be found at http://www.mykasnet.com/kas
Most of the links do not work, for example the outdated news on the homepage simply links to a page on 'strategy'.
Unfortunately, however, the contact page, which looks almost the same as the one on kasbank.com, is actually html. This page is used in 419 fraud.
What is 419 fraud?
In a socalled 419 fraud scheme, tons of e-mails are sent out, promising huge amounts of money. When someone who receives such spam e-mail, declares she/he is ready to accept the money (a lottery win, a scholarship, an inheritance, or whatever), he/she is asked to pay money upfront for bank account or legal costs. This upfront payment can be anything from a few hundred to several thousand dollars.
As soon as the money is paid, that is the end of the story. The huge amount of money is not transferred.

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.

It is just a scam by criminals.

Again, an inheritance scam. Various people are offered 18,5 million USD as inheritance from a hitherto unknown family member.
Upfront costs to be paid vary from 1,500 USD to 5,600 GBP.
Naturally, there is no inheritance.
The name used in this case is DAN POLZIN, working at the Clearing Dept of KAS BANK.
Naturally, there is no DAN POLZIN at KAS BANK!

Scammer continues with deceased family member fraud
A scammer is continuing to spam email accounts with messages that some deceased family member has had an account in KAS BANK. (KAS BANK does not have private customers, this bank only works for wholesale institutions).
The scammer would be more than happy to transfer the balance - usually $18,500. However, if you reply to these spam emails, you will be asked to pay upfront fees.
Also, the scammer will try to get his hands on your personal data, banking and credit card information.
Remember that serious established financial institutions never ask for information through email, nor do they communicate such information through email. Let alone sent from some gratis email account.

The technical information about the e-mail shows interesting details about the origin of the scam e-mail (see the line in red!). Naturally Dr. Frigns is no employee of KAS BANK and naturally, kasbank.co.uk is not a web presence of Amsterdam based KAS BANK N.V. (See www.kasbank.com).

Even more 'advanced' website copy
Here is http://www.kasbank.kass-nb.com/. Can't follow this link, because the website was taken down. It was a fraudulent mirror copy from the official website http://www.kasbank.com/.
This is even more advanced than the simple HTT Track mirror copy, as it has a button Online Banking added. This would typically lead to another site, where the visitor is tricked out of his money.

'Advanced' fraudulent website copy?
Here is an example of an 'advanced' website copy.
It is www.kasbankuk.com. However, there is no KAS BANK UK. And sorry, the link doesn't work, the website was taken down. As you can see from this snapshot, it seems like a perfect copy of www.kasbank.com - the official site of an established bank.
So is this an 'advanced' fraudulent website copy? It might seem so, but let's take a look at the source code that tells your browser what to show. What do we read in the comments marked green?
Indeed, it is a mirror copy, made by standard software, meant to read websites offline.
Naturally, interactions go wrong with such a frozen copy: the contact form on this one did not work.

Scammer uses Turkish bank account to extract fraudulent fees
Dear Sir, I have received an email last week from KAS Bank contains an information regarding late father's account and they need the Next of Kin information, they also need fees to transfer the amount of $3,150, Nevertheless they asked that the amount should be paid in cash in the central bank of turkey. The father's late account bank is in turkey. Is your bank affiliated with any banks in turkey? Inaddition they sent me the details how to log in the late father's account with the user name, digipass and the pin, and was working. Please Avice. Thanks
Answer: your father cannot have had an account with KAS BANK, as this bank has no private account holders. Someone is trying to rip you off!

The answer to these questions is: no and no.
1. Never trust any e-mail that prompts you to give banking information. No bank will ask you for such data per e-mail.
2. KAS BANK is in no way affiliated with ING Bank.

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!
