Check received today, October 23, 2006, for $2, 992.90 from Europay Investment Inc for winning the British International Lottery. The name (from the check) of the company that issued the check is ES3 LLC. I looked-up ES3 LLC on the web and found that they have nothing to do with this scam and the check is bogus. I also went to my bank and they confirmed that the check is bogus.
It's the old saying "If it sounds to good to be true...". The check looks very real but if I put it in my bank account it will bounce.
I did call Europay Investment, and spoke with Lisa John. She told me it was real and to put the check in my bank account. Also that it should clear in 10 to 14 days.
Another thing I did was to call Banknorth, N.A. the bank on the check, and was told that this is a scam and that the check is bogus.
I want this to be true, but it appears that this is just another scam to get money from honest, hard working people.
