Yea watch out for this...

It's obviously a scam and reported on various sites, such as consumer fraud reporting (http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/lotteryscamnames.php)

What a joke... just cash their (fake) check for $4,995.98. Then send them the taxes for the lotto winnings ($2,995.00) and you're good to go.  Then when their (fake) check bounces and you have to repay the $4,995.98 they have $2,995.00 of your real money.

Check looks very legit and the bank will cash it... so rip it up and forget about it.

yeah got one too with a check for 4995.98

received a letter to call this number.
