Received notification of "Third Category" winnings in the Euro International Lotto. There as a check in the envelope made payable to me for $1990. The letter said this was to cover the tax and clearance fees for my $95,000 winnings. The bottom of the notification letter says to contact James Simpson of Barons Financial Group, Subsidiary of Euro Lotto Corporation, 23 Walworth Rd, Suite 204 London England SE17. Tel: 011-44-7903-253-225. There was a second page in the envelope which said "To activate your check, please call this toll free number 1-800-316-3078. Please call immediately to avoid cancelation of your of your check. The only reason I didn't throw all of this in the trash was because of the check. It appeared to be a REAL check -drawn on Wachovia Bank from NC. The odd thing is that the check was from Minerals Technologies, Inc. I googled the company name and found their website. At the bottom of the web page (in large letters) was a notice "FRAUDULENT CHECK ALERT". Obviously I wasn't the first person to recieve one of these checks in association with a lottery scam. I did not call any of the phone numbers. Hope this will help any potential victims out there.
