Is that legal for Chief Executive ING Bank ask for C.O.T. fee ?

[alebar14]

I have paid a court fee at probate court in Florida and has a release fund document of my partner's late father's will in Belgium. The transfer manager of ING Bank ask for a Cost Of Transfer (C.O.T.) fee (EUR3,000) before he proceed of wiring transfer the fund (EUR3,500,000) to New Zealand.

My question is: Is that legal for a transfer bank manager ask me to pay C.O.T.fee in advance before he completing the fund release ? He said it's illegal to waive the C.O.T.fee from the fund itself.

It is customary to charge a fee on international bank transfers. Procedures and fees may vary by institution.

I have the document by probate court in Florida, Is this legitimate? By IMF Organization ?

That document looks phonier than a $3 bill. I would not give them a penny.

Then why her Barrister Terry Williams in Belgium confirms that's legitimate from lawyer Donna Dean that did the probate court at the State ?

If it was a real barrister, I would expect they could afford someone that can dictate proper English. A quick street view shows not a prestigious international law firm, but an empty office for rent. It appears the cubicles/offices above are rented.

How do I know if they have done a legitimate probate work ? Do you have a sample of real fund release document ? Thanks

You are being scammed.

Run away! Run away!

You must be an idiot to be falling for this scam, and you are all already knee deep.

Get your own lawyer.

Your "partner" should too.

I am very sure this is legitimate. Because he never approached to me before for offering any winning lottery or such scam e-mails. I checked the office on street view via google and that was 2011. My partner only introduced him to me on May this year. He was my partner's late father's sole administrator from the probate court.

Well, it's up to you, but...

There is no such thing as "The Federal High Court of Florida" or whatever.

Let us try this another way. Look up ING's number, call them and ask to speak to the "transfer manager" by name. Confirm his title, with another staff member.

Few days ago, I sent emails to ING Bank Belgium regarding this matter and they haven't reply me yet. I have sent another e-mail to public affairs and copyright department of IMF Organization and still no respond. Anyway, today I just sent few emails to the retail stores that share the same building in 78 Rue Defazqc, sent an email to State Court Administrator in Florida Supreme Court, sent an email to lawyer Donna Dean that based on Los Angeles, California (300 S Spring St
Los Angeles, CA 90013 ,office phone: 213-897-9442), so hoping for their responds

I think that's a good idea. I am going to ring the ING Bank Belgium but the time different between New Zealand and Belgium is 10 hours. So I might have to wait another 2 hours before the bank open.

gotta love the white out.


I think that would be a really REALLY big clue that it isn't anything official other than officially qualified to use as toilet paper.
