Shaw Financial Incorporated USA Departmental Stores Sweepstake Lottery, MATTHAEIS CAMCO, INC Lottery Sweepstake Mail Scam -- "you pay us to pay you" Los Angeles, California

All three "companies" are part of a mail scam sent to us.  "Shaw Financial" is a "company" processing lottery-sweepstake winnings for the "USA Departmental Stores Sweepstake Lottery".  We "won" over $250,000, and were sent an initial check for over $4600 written from  the account of "MATTAEIS CAMCO, INC".   The $4600 was to cover our "claim processing fee" of $3940, which we were to submit in order to "Activate our Check".   We were told in our form letter to call our "Claims Agent, David Morgan" in order do this.  Note: the number we were to call is a Canadian cell phone #.  We did not call.  Instead we filed a complaint with the US Postal Service Fraud dept.

Please note:  There is a legitimate company called MATTAEIS CAMCO, INC  in Washington state.  The company in this complaint gives an address in "Sweet Home. OR".  I hope this scam is not causing problems for a legit company.

Also:  The bank listed on the check we were sent is "WELLS FARGO BANK N.A."  There is no bank with this exact name.
