Ripoff, decieved me to fax them personal info as if they will transfer winnings into my bank account

Miscellaneous

I recently recieved a letter in the mail stating that through a mistake I was to win and was approved to recieve over 600 thousand to be transferred to my bank account.

There was a form unfortunately that I completed that requested my name and address, phone, bank account to be transferred to and next of kin. Hoping that it was legit I called as the letter instructed a Martin Lopez, teh " foreign operations manager of Globa fortune security Company S.A. Tel 011 34 695 134 100" for procesing and remittance of prize money.
Fax: 011 34 657 244 588 It also says that they require 10% of lottery winning because they are the claims agent.

I asked if this is real, mr Lopez said it was. But when I asked if the t (fed) tax is being paid or decucted, he said that the bank handling the transfer would handle that. It sounded like it would be my bank. He said that upon recieving the faxed form it would be 3 days when the bank would contact me to transfer the money.

Here are some specifics:
released results: Euro Bono Lotto Program held on 14th Feb 06
ticket # 025-11464992-750
ser # 2113-05
lucky numbers: 10-16-25-1-43-46 (3rd category) shared among 17 international winners
lump sum: 615,810.00
file ref#: EGS/25516003/077
batch #: 14/0017/AGH
fax#: 011 34 657 244 588

It was signed by Antonio Gomez, mangaing director

He said the 10% commision fee would be paid after the money is transferred to my bank account. He DID not say I owed any further fees or anything at all.

This morning around 9am pst, A Antonio Mesa of Banco Santanda? Or er (011 34 619 771 357) called and said that this bank was to transfer the money to my bank today and that it would be available in 3 business days and to call him back once the funds where complete to my bank account. However, he also mentioned that there is a transfer fee of $480.00 and asked if I knew of western Union. I said I did, but that I don't have any money to send. He then said I would need to call my agent and notify him. I tried calling him, but my cell phone doesn't do international calls. After lunch time while I was at work, I recieved a call from that similar #34 952040821 no one spoke on the line even i said hello a few times. I'm afraid this could be a scam. How do I know it is for real or not?

1. If this is legit, why would they ask for a next of kin?
2 why would there be a mix up o f some numbers in a lottery?
3 Wouldn't the numbers either be correct or not? How can it be mixed up?
4 Why would they ask for a transfer fee or insurance or 10% remittance? Isn't it supposed to be a winning (free)?
I remember sending in a Spanish lotto entry a month or so ago, but didnt expect anything to become of it. I might have a copy at home, not sure as I might have thrown it out with other junk mail.
