Having received suspiscious offers daily over several years how to recceive a donnation from some deceased person in return for some fee payment I always did a search on the internet and found it without exception a scam. It has ceased lately.

I did a search on your "bank" and her is what I got:

Yes the Bank exists, its a river bank and sure as hell aint got no world branch.

You are being set up :tsk:

I agree. BAY is the bank's stock exchange code used on the SET and I think other exchanges as well where it's traded. Common to hear the bank referred to as BAY. GE Capital was their major share holder until last year when they sold their share to Bank of Tokyo. Pete

LOL - now I know where to go with the money if wifey wins the lottery. Possibly the OP is involved in a transaction which involves purchase of stock. I would never have believed this was a bank - but there you go.
