How do i know that Castleton International Lottery Organization Winning is real?

This is a HUGE scam in banking, it changes organization names and the nature of the scam changes too (sometimes it's an inheritance check). Basically someone has a large sum of money that they are willing to give you a cut of as long as you open an account where they can send you the entire check as long as you write them a check back for their cut. DELETE the email and go on with your life.

better business bureau ---check them out to see if this company is real.

It is a scam. They will make a fake bank website where you can login and see your "winnings" Once people see the millions in an apparently legit bank website they will gladly pay fees to release the millions. The phone number probably starts with +4470xxxxxx these numbers are redirect numbers which redirect to any mobile phone in the world(Nigeria for example) You cannot have an international lottery as the gambling laws differ in every country. The scammers say it is "International" so as to cover every country.
