Shaw Financial Incorporated I have been confirmed as one of the 2nd prize winners of the European, Africa, and USA Consumer Sweepstakes. Los Angeles, Africa, Ireland, England California

I remember reading about scams like this some where online, so I knew exactly what is was when I got the letter in the mail.  I feel strongly that consumer lists from Publishers Clearing House have been used to target receipients. I suffered no financial harm, as I recognized it for the scam it is.  I have been notified of at least a half dozen lotteries that I have "won" in the last year, all of them requesting "processing fees" in order to claim my winnings.  In that same time I've shuffling through the PCH forms.

The notice arrived via regular post in a plain, letter sized envelope. A serial #7738821 has been attached to my name and matched the first five lucky winning numbers and I have won $300,000.00 from the consumer sweepstakes lotter held on April 24,2015.  Shaw Financial has been assigned by the organization to inform and direct all the winners and to assist in receiving winnings. The "do not need my banking details at anytime and do not disclose my banking details to anyone at all."  Payment of prize money will be made by a certified check and brought to me in person by theiry special courier company.

There is a "check" from Suntrust Bank for $3,950.00 enclosed to help cover the processing fee of $3,650 US dollars.  I'm directed to contact Mary Green @ 1-877-217-8474, or 1-760-305-9019 M-F 9am-5pm to start my claims processing and activate my check.  I am to adhere to Ms Green's instructions.  I am not to act on this notice until I contact my claims agent to avoid cases of misapproppriation and mishandling of prize monies.  The notice is from Solomon King- Prize Manager.  

I am going to call the local Suntrust bank branch and notify them of the possibilty of more checks being out in the area.
