I received a call from this number today.  He said he was John Green from the Dept of Commerce and asked if I had been notified of an American Sweepstakes 2nd prize of $450,000.00.  He gave me the number of Russel Bennet was employed by Prudential and it would be necessary to talk with him to obtain an insurance policy on the money.  He told me where to go to send the $4,500 to him for the required policy -- Western Union.  Fortunate that I had to go to my bank to get the $4,500 in cash to send.  I asked one of the bank employees about the situation -  both Green & Bennet had both warned me not to reveal what I had won.  The banker call them both to have them to explain the need for insurance.  After a brief and very guarded discussion with both of them as he tried to explain there was no need for insurance for the delivery of a check.  It was a scam.

I work for Prudential and a client just called stating that he had received this call regarding Russell Bennett. Prudential does not have any employee by the name of Russell Bennett. I am glad this client called our office. I hope this does not distort the view people have of Prudential!

I received a call today from this number saying I had won $450,000.00 and needed to reinstate an insurance policy with Prudential to cover delivery of the cashier's check.  I called the number he gave me and it said Prudential insurance but all agents were busy.  I checked on Google and got this website.  He said it was from
American Sweepstakes and was a 2nd. prize award.

received a call from john green saying i had won 450000 & i needed to call prudential insurance to get my winnings insured. called the number he gave me to a john bennett who said i needed insurance from his company which would cost 4500.00.  the company prudential insurance was supposed to be in Hamilton NJ.  I called prudential insurance in allentown nj and they said they did not have an agency in that city.  reported them to  Inspector General 800-424-5197

John Greene from Department of Commerce, Washington, DC called today and left a message.  Glad I googled this info first.  Be on the lookout!

Just received a call from a guy who stated that he ws from the Dept. of US Commerce asking if I had signed up online for a sweepstakes.  I told him no.  He asked me if I was (name) and I told him yes.  I then asked how did you get my number.  On my caller ID it showed Caller Unknown.  He told me he got my information from an online sweepstakes.  He proceeded to tell me that what I had won was going to be turned over to the Federal Reserve.  Immediately, I realize this didn't sound right.   I hung up the phone and began to google to see if anyone had experienced this same incident.  Glad to know it's a scam and that I did not provide him with any additional information.  Its a shame that some people don't have anything else better to do with their time than to scam people

Ok, this is now downright appalling . Same unknown caller, same number as in aforementioned reports, however, a VERY different experience than those previously conveyed. Received call early a.m. from 202-509-0685. Answered to the sound of heavy breathing, almost a panting. Alarmed at this point, I began to inform the caller that i was going to have the call traced when a man on the other end suddenly says hello, then tells me that he's calling, "regarding my pants, specifically, what's in my pants." This sicko then tells me that he will pay me $4.50 to send him a picture of my genitals. I am totally disgusted, it was a total scam. I sent the picture but never got the $4.50. Just remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

We have also been receiving these types of calls stating we have won monies but need to wire money first to insure the delivery of our winnings. The amount of sweepstakes that are being mailed to our address has become overwhelming not to mention the phone calls. My advice to all is DO NOT even enter one of these thinking you might win because it takes way more time to get rid of the mailings and phone calls then it takes to just shred the unopened envelopes. Here are 2 more names and numbers to be aware of : Philip Davis 202 580-8132 and Luis Mendez 516 203-4484. I so wish these scammers could be busted and punished.

the same joe greene left a voicemail on my phone saying i'm in line to win money from the dept. of commece and to call202-391-0981. I called and got a recording saying to leave a message

My elderly mother (who had been sending sweepstakes information) was contacted by a "Robert Paige" that she had won $750k.  Thankfully, she called me.  I googled it and found that these numbers 888-978-5788 and 585-633-3370 led me to this page.  I was talking to her on the mobile phone when he called back to "complete the paperwork".  I told her to tell them to fax the paperwork to her accountant (me) and that I would complete it once I had my attorney review it.  He said, the "HE" had to fill it out.  I think that was the final convincing stroke for her to tell him that she didn't believe him and that she would report it to the police.

They wanted to know if her bank was close buy and did tell her something about insurance.  I can only suspect that they were looking for SSN/Bank Account No/ or Credit Card to charge something fraudulant.  

There are no free rides, but pleanty of people that want to separate you from your nest egg.

1_202_558_4542  Called  said  I won  350000     have  to send 90.80 dollars  to  get  it.

A man with a thick accent called saying that I won $450,000 from American sweepstakes Network The number he called from came up as (202) 470-4845  and said his name is Mark Eviston from the Federal Consumer Protection Agency and his badge number is USG6369. Funny, I never entered any sweepstakes?

Received a call from someone name Joe or John from Department of Commerce saying I had cancel out of some subscription for American Sweepstakes and told me to call 202-470-4851 to confirm.  This is a bogus call and I never returned the call.  I suggest that if you receive such a call that you stay away.

I have received mail, stating that I have won a prize, and have had a cashier's check posted on my email address, from Bank of America for 2.5 million dollars. Even though I know this is a scam, how can I stop it .? Nathan

HThese scanners also call from Jamaca with 876 area code this month alone they called over 100 times
I usually never answer if there not n my contacts.the best way to deal with them is not never ever send one red cent
