"Zennith Cargo Company / Eccu Investment & Trust Ltd." are fake companies used in a fake lottery scam in the Netherlands. It is a 419 scam that, depending on the country of residence of the victim, can also involve a check fraud scam.
This scam is likely to be connected to the same gang as the "Mr. Walter Campbell / Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust Charity Foundation" scam, which also involved check fraud and used the same Western Union payment instructions.
