Just received a call from 202-241-7759.  Advising me that I had won 300K and a benz.  Just need to wire $$ for the Benz transfer from state to state.  These guys never give up.

omg my son got a call from American sweepstakes there # 202 370 7657 telling him he won all this money he is 17 yrs old and does not think you have to work for a living already.. Dad Dad I won I won give me a break....
Well long story short this is where two dumb a** met.

Got the same scam call from Wells Fargo Bank?  The guy's accent gave it away. He's a crook and should be put in jail.

Nonsense.  You didn't win you are supporting this fraud.

excerpt from FTC CONSUMER ALERT
A Dozen Ways to Protect Yourself
The next time you get a "personal" letter or telephone call telling you "it?s your lucky day," the Federal Trade Commission encourages you to remember that:

1. Legitimate sweepstakes don?t require you to pay or buy something to enter or improve your chances of winning, or to pay "taxes" or "shipping and handling charges" to get your prize.

                  If you have to pay to receive your "prize," it?s not a prize at all.

Called today and asked for my wife.  Told him she was at work and he introduced himself as "Mr. Davis of Wells Fargo Bank".  Said she had a check waiting for her from some sweepstakes for 1.5 million.  I started laughing uproariously and asked him how f---king stupid did he think we were.  Left a few more choice comments for him and he hung up.

i just taught my dad you can google funny scammers like this. he is amazed and now is googling anyone who has ever called us that sounds funny
this guy was trying to tell us he was a bank then told us we are going to hell for calling him a scam.

We got the same call 202-241-9009 - I hate to say it, but the accent is a dead giveaway - and they're not giving anything away! I'm definitely tormented!!!!

Just got a call from 202-241-9002, same guy, Calvin Davis, only this time, Wells Fargo bank.  He left a message on the home phone.  The joke's on him though because he used my ex-husband's name as the certified check recipient, which is errant information.  I've been divorced for 17 years, and my ex-husband has never been associated at our phone number.  SCAM!

My mother, who is 90 years old, got a similar call from a Mr. Calvin Davis of Wachovia Bank stating that my mother won $5 million. Because my mother wears hearing aids, Mr. Davis did not get much further in his scam when my mother hung up on him. He had the audacity to call back but my mother told him that her son handled all her affairs. I guess he didn't want to talk to me. It's so much easier to take advantage of the elderly. Anyway, this appears to be bad enough to contact the FTC and the State Attorney General. After doing some research on this type of scam, the Washington DC phone number is no doubt a phone number to Nigeria or somewhere in Africa where all these scams originate.

Received a call from Washington, DC today.  A Mr. Calvin Davis informed me I was a 3rd prize winner in the amount of $1.5 million and the other 2 winners have already received their checks! Said he was calling from the Bank of Wachovia in Rochester, NY (hmmm...how could that be if the number on my phone read Washington, DC...another deception or he masked the phone number).  He informed me that in order to claim my $1.5 million, I would have to wire 5% of the winnings (which he said was $1499.99...5% of the winnings is NOT $1499.99! What a math whiz he is!). I was not sure if this amount was 5% of the taxes or what. Claimed I won this through American Sweepstakes Promotion (untrue! ASW alerts people to this exact scam!). He said Donald Trump offers these contests monthly to people who pay their utility bills faithfully every month. Uh huh (WHATEVER!)...Told him I'd call him back, but found this to be a scam when I went online (by this phone # 202-241-9002) after hanging up with him.  I worked for a company that did tons of sweeps and no one EVER pays upfront for any Sweepstakes: "no purchase or entry fee required to win and NO FEES or taxes to be paid prior to receiving the prize(s)". Mr. Davis had a very heavy accent, so I doubt he was from DC or NY. He probably was from Nigeria!!!  This scoundrel should be locked up and fined the $1.5 million +!  Please stop this deception by these cons into luring people into taking the bait!  I reported him to the FTC immediately!
I found this warning under The American Sweepstakes and Promotions Company  http://www.american-sweeps.com/
Sweepstakes winners are NOT required to pay before receiving their prize. Therefore, if you have received a phone call or have been mailed notification that you have won a sweepstakes and need to send money before receiving your prize, you most likely are about to be scammed. Over the past few years, The American Sweepstakes & Promotion Company has advised consumers not to fall prey to these frauds. Unfortunately, these thieves have been using our name and logo and even copying our website in order to appear legitimate.
If you have been informed that you have won a sweepstakes and are asked for money please contact your State Attorney General www.naag.org or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) consumer complaint assistant www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov

My grandmother received a call yesterday from this number and they claimed to know everything about her, and she fell for it because nobody was home. We looked further into it and the facts just did not match up. This is definately a scam. Do not give them your numbers to anything, no even your birthday. This is how people steal identities and take everything you have.

Caller mentioned a bank name and a certified check waiting there for me.  I knew it was a scam and hung up.  Reported it to the bank.

liar!

i receive a call from this number saying they have a certified  check for me, i was suspicious and skeptic,but i did receive a check and it was legit. the ups deliver it at my house and take me to my bank and have it deposited.I WON!

I also received the same calls.  It makes me very uncomfortable because he was calling my cell phone, which is unlisted.  I was calling him back because he said "certified check" and named a bank.  While I was calling I was googling the # and this came up.  So I ask if this was a scam.  He said "no, if you thought that then why'd you call?" Then gave the line of being a sweepstake and I won $400K.  I said I looked up the number and he said I was "tormented" and hung up on me.

Who do I report this to?

I received the same call. The message sounds a lot like the email scams that hit your mailbox each day. He has a heavy foreign accent and uses terms like certified check, the Federal Reserve and delivery by the United States Postal Service. Thanks, Julie, for the heads up. I was tempted to call to make sure this was or wasn't related to family business. Glad to have avoided that conversation!

This is a sweepstakes scam.  A Christopher Banks who is mis-representing a company called American Sweepstakes Promotions is calling people and telling them that they have won huge sums of money and all they have to do is pay upfront 5% of the winnings.  American Sweepstakes Promotion has verified that they are not a part of this as I called the number this this company has listed on their web site.  
Do not pay anything to them.  Money never, never has to be paid upfront for a sweepstakes or any other contest.  NEVER.  Mr. Banks or whatever names he uses, has an argument for any question.  He can sound convincing except the upfront payment has to be paid.  This is NOT TRUE.
The Attorney General's Office in the State of Minnesota says this is a scam. DO NOT PAY ANYTHING UPFRONT TO WIN MONEY---EVER
