Bad Business

I have never experienced a bank like this that doesn't let you transfer money from bank to bank without a COT CODE and want a fee to make this transaction that is $5,500. I AM closing this account and requesting my wife and I money to be mailed to us immediately. We don't have access to our funds unless that we have require a COT CODE FEE to obtain the COT CODE. This is very stressful and hope this review gets attention for others.

Attn: Rupert Ward Jr,

INFORMATION ON THE TRANSFER STATUS AS PROTOCOL DEMANDS/ALL LEGAL CHARGES:

Notice in the terms of section 122 (3) and 129 (1) of the UK financial credit act,No. 38 of 2005 (the ''Act'') in accordance with section 129(1) of the act, you are entittle to read through the below statement for the COT CODE process and refer back to this office.

In response to your urgent mail, I contacted the office of the transfer unit; they discover that the INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER UNIT/FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT stop the transfer process to your Bank account in America, because the funds you are transferring to your account in America requires up Country Transfer Code, This required up Country Transfer Code to complete your transfer is actually referred to as COST OF CONVERSION ORDER TRANSFER and in abbreviation according to Banking terms it is known as COT CODE but in the Money Transfer World it is called UP Country Transfer Code.

There was a stop order on your transfer processing requesting for UP Country Transfer Code ( COT CODE ) because it's an international on-line electronic wire transfer to ( AMERICA ) your home country. Before your funds can be successfully transferred to your account, According to the international transfer unit, The Cost Of CONVERSION ORDER TRANSFER (COT CODE) is to be met and remitted by the transferring client to enable the transfer of your funds via international electronic on-line wire transfer to your destination account in your Country.

All International banks in England and Wales, including ours, are authorized and regulated by the Financial Services Authority and as a result of this subject matter, clients are required to abide by the Banking policies of the British Government by making security deposit for Cost of International Transfer (COT). The Financial Service Authority is the independent regulatory body set up by the Government to monitor the financial services industry (Banks) and protect customers. Fees to Be Paid For Cost Of TRANSFER/CONVERSION ORDER TRANSFER (COT) to AMERICA (COT CODE FEE)is = £3847.35GBP which is equivalent to $5,500USD. Your payment was zoned here in Great Britain Consulate as instructed below. Your are to make efforts for the remittance of the payment immediately and get back to our office to enable us provide you with the payment details for the needful.

Note: it is not possible to deduct any amount from your on-line account funds at this point because the transfer is ON-LINE WIRE TRANSFER before it can be transferred into your account. This means that the above charges cannot be deducted from the funds and hence must be remitted by you before you can continue with the on-line wire bank transfer as protocol demands. This is in accordance with section 17(1) (n) of the National Transfer Act as adopted in 1998 and amended on 3rd July 2002 by Parliament and the international transfer unit here in UK.

According to the INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER UNIT, you are to inform this office immediately after full review of this message and we would provide you with the details to enable you make the payment.

After the payment, you are to immediately contact this office for the confirmation of your payment, as soon as your payment is Confirmed and received, we shall forward the payment to the international transfer unit for confirmation, so that they can issue out the CODE to you to enable you complete your transfer. please take note that the COT code is a one time code , which means that if you acquire the code now you won't be paying for it anymore neither now or the nearest future anytime you initiate a transfer.


Thank you for your patronage

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Glynn Burger.
