I also received a legitimate looking check in the mail from this company for $4, 450.00 congratulating me on winning in the Mega Million Sweepstakes with a ticket I have never purchased. They are asking for $3, 400.00 to be sent to them by Western Union or Money Gram to cover the tax on the remaining amount of my winnings...$425, 000. Of course this is a scam and I have no idea what happens when a person tries to cash or deposit the check. I wouldn't be surprised if the bank teller triggers a silent alarm and the unsuspecting person is arrested on the spot!

My brother recieved a check from Lotus stating that he was a mega million sweepstekes winner. Seems he was not the only one. I hope that they are scamming elder people. That is just sad.
