Complaint Review: Barons Financial Group Subsidiary Of Euro Lotto Corporation

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.
