Tommy Lee Sparta Lottery Scam Trial: Victims Promised Mercedes-Benz

Tommy Lee Sparta’s alleged lottery scam victims were promised brand new Mercedes-Benz.

Prosecutors told the court last week that letters were found in the recycle bin of a laptop and an external hard drive called ‘Tommy Lee.’

The documents bearing the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s letterhead were addressed to two United States citizens aged 70 and 79. The seniors were told that they US$7,700,000 and US$1,500,000 respectively, and two red Mercedes-Benz motor cars in a lottery sweepstakes.

“You have to go through a series of folders to get to it, the detective told prosecution attorney Sophia Thomas last Friday. “The document with the letterhead of the Federal Bureau of Investigation contained a letter addressed to a James Robertson congratulating him on winning his prize.”
