Has anyone heard of "world wide lotto inc."?

I received a letter and a check in the mail from "world wide lotto inc." telling me that I won a large amount of money If I return the check they sent me to them. It is suppose to cover the taxes on the money. They are then going to send me the prize money via DHL.

Answer:
SCAM
scam scam scam
IT'S A TRAP!!
It's a scam! There are a lot of these running around.
Did you play this lottery? If you didn't, there's no way you could've won. Besides, all taxes are your responsibility after you receive your winnings; Not before. You never have to pay to claim anything you win.
These checks are bogus and you'll end up paying back the bank the amount of the check.
no
That is a scam. You did not win anything. Any money you send will dissapear and you will never hear from them again.
don't participate in any out of country lotto's their all scams especially this one don't do it its definitely a scam
Yes! Yesterday I got the same thing in the mail for $1780! I'm not sure what to do.??
I received a similar document. However, mine asks me to cash or deposit the check, not return it to the sender. Also, my document did not specify "DHL". My document does not indicate how I will receive the prize money.
I got a letter from world wide lotto as well. It has a check with it. The check is to cover the tax and clearance fee(it says). It says to cash or deposit the check. It also gives an agent name, phone number and location. I have done nothing with the check because Im concerned that it may be a scam. I havent been able to reach the agent listed on the letter. If Im able to contact this person, I will let you know what they say. It seems very shady.
