I got a call from some guy going by the name of Steve Baker and he claimed to work for the dept. of justice fraud division.  He called me from a 202-407-7213 number and said I had a package at JFK and I had won a sweepstakes prize of $875,000.00.and they had been looking for me for 15 days and I needed to contact U.S. Customs to pick up the package..He gave me a claim number and told me that I would need to call 516-394-4372 to confirm they had me as a winner of this prize. After speaking to some person named Hector Colon according to him,he said yes you have won second prize and the clearing house has sent the check to U.S. Customs to call 1-718-690-9758 for further information.  Well, someone named William Johnson was the so called agent I spoke with and he told me to send $2100.00 to some trustee in Costa Rica to insure the package and I would be reimbursed by the sweepstakes company.  When I checked the telephone numbers and found out that none of the them were dept. of justice or customs I knew I was right to pay attention to my suspicsions about these pigs.  This is a scam and take my advice, don't send them any of your money.

They're still doing it.  I got a very similar call today, telephone numbers match although the man's name claimed he was from the Department of Justice and that US Customs was holding a sweepstakes letter for me.  I ihave no recollection of entering a sweepstakes, in fact I am rather anti-sweeptstakes.  I did call the number for U.S. Customs at JFK and of course it went directly to voicemail.  What satisfaction are they trying to achieve

Same call happened to me, screw these ppl.

Someone needs to stop these people.

This is the second stage to a possible scam. I recieved a phone call from (202)407-7179, from the Justice Dept that stated "I have won "x" amount of dollars in the Publisher Clearinghouse. Yes, I have entered my name in the drawing several times and I do play PCh lotto, slots, search, etc...  So this doesn't seem to far out of reality. Kinda got my hopes up so I tried calling (718)690-9758 and only reached an answering message which I am still skeptical to leave a message. They returned my phone call..  and after all is said and done...  They wanted a check for over $9,000.00  to claim my prize. I said, "Take it out of my winnings" they said that they couldn't do it cause it was in a form of a check. I replied, "I wasn't willing to that" and they pretty much said, "they will send it back"  then hung up on me. Come to think of it..  it sounded like the same guy or family member with a similiar voice. I had to ask them over and over to clarify numbers, names, and other various words. Hope this helps.
