An AWARD NOTIFICATION CERTIFICATE, dated May 25, 2007, was sent by Pacific Management Publishers Clearing House, Reader's Digest Sweekpstakes & Internet Casino with a claim number attached, indicating I had won $68,000 from a total cash prize draw or $900,000.00. It stated that I had won these earning through the release of COUNTY SHOPPER'S SWEEPSTAKES, held on May 10, 2007. I was instructed to cash the enclosed check of $2,450.00 and allow it the clear withing 24-48hrs. Afterwards, I was instructed to send $2,298.74 to a tax agent via MoneyGram. The tax agent's name provided was "Amy Grant" located at 62 Strach Ave Chicago, Ill 60044. After wiring the transfer I was instructed to call 604-728-4312 with the 8-digit refernce number. I was then told I would recieve $58,000 (after a portion was given to Pacific Funds Management) within the following 72hrs, along with documents such as a 1099 tax form and Delcaration form. I had deadline of 7/19/07. Initially, I was going to wire the transfer through Western Union, however, Pacific Management did not have a "city code", which I thought was odd. After speaking with a representative from MoneyGram, I was informed that they do not wire transfers of this nature for the specific reasons of scams. If I had not consulted MoneyGram first, I would have owed the bank $2,450.00. I have notified my financial institution of the situation and am currently waiting to hear back from them.
