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.

KASS-BK poses as KAS BANK
This is an example of a false e-mail send by someone who calls himself Edward H. Antony, who is certainly not an employee of KAS BANK, as is suggested here. Instead, the persons hiding behind e-mail aliases like kasbk@dutchmail.com are criminals.

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.
Gaming Board Authority Award Scam
Be aware of the latest version of an Award Scam, mentioning BNH-DELLON (meaning BoNY Mellon?) and KAS Financial Services (certainly no registered bank and no relation to KAS BANK at all).
The story is as follows: numerous spam e-mails are sent out to tell each and every recipient that they have won 750,000 USD. Next the "winner" is asked to give all kinds of personal information. Next he will be asked to pay an advance fee in order to collect his prize. Once such fees are paid, the "winner" has lost exactly the amount he paid in advance, his "award" he will never receive.
Here is a copy of a "legal" document:
Here is some email correspondence.
