It is a scam! Don't pay! Via Fernando de Rosa Torino Italy, I just took a look at! There is no Poste Bank agency in that street , it is a residential street. The person who claims lives there either is not italian but sounds to me as romanian (Romania) . Recently, poste italiane are releasing bank accounts to people who not necessary Must have a residence in Italy, they may apply as foreign students and they may open a bank account and close it whenever they want it to close without passing through all the long bank burocracies italian residents are obbligated to pass through!

Hi

Thanks to this forum I discovered it was a scam before I paid.
First I got an email from [email protected]. Then an email by [email protected] with the below request to pay. Thanks for your warning.
