Shaw Financial Incorporated A check was sent in the amount of $3950, to cover processing fees for the $300k prize Los Angeles California

 Received a check for $3950 with a letter stating that I had won a second place prize of $300k. I was to call "Mary Green", M-F 9a-5p, at 1-877-217-8474 or -1-760-305-9019, to activate said check to help in avoiding cases of misappropriation and mishandling of prize monies. The processing fee was $3650, leaving $300 leftover. The letter contained a claim number, a serial number and a statement saying that Shaw Financial Inc was an idependent body that was a assigned the task of informing the winners. I was not to give out any banking details.
