Dear xaviiier, There are very strong reasons to assume that "Capital Trust fiduciary consultant" is definitely not a real firm: - The database of Companies House, the British government authority where all companies must be registered, lists only one company of the name "Capital Trust" in the entire United Kingdom. But they are "Capital Trust Fund Management Ltd", located at 28 Lodge Road, Coleraine, BT521NB. - The British telephone directories list only one company located at 14 Bedford Street in Belfast, and that is a copy shop. By the way, the correct postcode for that address is BT2 7FB. - There is not a single online source that mentions the (obviously fictitious) firm "Capital Trust fiduciary consultant". I assume that, in your case, that company was mentioned in a message you received from someone who pretends to be the Euromillions lottery. Be advised that, while there really is a legit organization of that name (part of the Belgian National Lottery), their name has also been used by fraudsters for numerous e-mail scams in the past.

Scriptor's answer is very thorough. However there is a bit more to the story. What you have received is an Email from a Nigerian 419 scammer. '419' is the Nigerian penal code for 'Advanced Fee Fraud' If you Google for: "Capital Trust fiduciary" You'll find just one result turns up. The site that turns up is run by a rather interesting guy, who like a fair number of others, has taken quite an interest in this type of rip off.
