Complaint Review: Shaw Financial Incorporated

My husband received a envelope in the mail today with no return address.  Inside the envelope was a check for $4,685.00 and a letter from Shaw Financial Incorporated.  The letter stated Shaw Financial Incorporated had been assigned by the sweepstake organization to inform all winners and pay them off their money.  It stated that he was the 2nd prize winner in the USA Department Stores Sweepstake Lottery held on June 29, 2012. 

The check for $4,685.00 was deducted from his total winnings of $254,685.00 and that there was a processing fee for $3940.00 that we would have to pay to receive the rest of the money ($250,000.00) The letter instruted him to call his claim agent David Morgan at 011-34-603-127-839 to start the claim process. The lettler was from the Promotion Manager Lisa Walker, who is very pleased and excited for him.

My husband called Mr Morgan and was asked for the claim# which my husband gave him.  My husband was then told to call Mr David Morgan back in one hour.  The claim had to be verified. 

Immediatley after hanging up I got on the computer and googled Shaw Financial Incorporated. Of course I seen where this has happened to other people who actually took the check to the bank only to find out it was fraud.

We knew that this was probably fraud because it did not come certified mail and had no return address on it.  I will be calling my local USPS to report this and find out if I need to take futher action. Mr David Morgan will not be getting a call back from us about claiming the money.
