I keep getting text from this number stating i won a prize

Received a call saying that I have won 450,000 dollars. They will send me $2,500 and I have to return $2,000 to them via Western Union or Moneygram.  The man's name is Jason Smith from the National Gaming Commission.  I told him to call me back at 4 pm so that I can check him out on the computer.  Am waiting for his call to see whether he'll call back as I have information that I found on the internet. I just wonder how they got hold of our phone numbers.

Call from American Sweepstakes Network!!!  Asking if I entered a contest. Said that I won $200,000.00 and that they are holding it.  They are a 4-lawyer firm in New York City.  Guy said that his name is John Summers.
Only can fax out the information.  Has called a few times . He said that he has a license number and everything....  Said can call at 646-257-3470...  Beware!!!  These guys say they are a lawyer team representing this American Sweepstakes???  These guys go after your emotions and your bank accounts.
They also want code numbers from you.  THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!!!!!!  Where is the NSA on these guys?   Stop the Fraud.......

I got a call from a Roy White from The Federal Gaming Commission in Washington DC.  He said that I had won money and over Triple digit figures!!!  HIs number is (202)470-2909     He also has a Hispanic speaking voice or Cuban. Claims the prize money is from American Clearing House.  You can call his number and extention.  This guy says he is "authentic". Says he has to fax the informtaion to me?????   In the background it sounds like he is calling from a hall.  I said fax the information?  He said that he could not get it to me.  Tried another day and no answer!!!!!!  Watch out!!!!  These guys will do whatever it takes

I got a similar call.  The number was (646)807-3913.  The man left a message from Jon (John)? Rossi with the Federal Gaming Commission in New York, wanted to talk to me about my winnings. Since I don't play sweepstakes I just started looking online to see if it was real or not.  So now I know.  It was fake and of course since I did not play, I did not win.  Be careful folks the bad guys just won't give up.  They will try anything to steal our hard earned money.

got a phone call from the "Federal Gaming Commission" in DC; I had "won several hundred thousand
dollars" but had to go to a Las Vegas airport to get it!!!!!    The number was 202-330-3675, not the
number mentioned above.

I got two calls.  One from a guy identifying himself as from the American Sweepstakes Hotline (866-239-2995).  He warned about scams, etc.  Then he said I should call "Adam Rose" of the "National Gaming Commission" (202-391-0970). When I called "Adam", he wanted me to verify a code (TAO153749) that I had won $450,000.  He explained that I should have received a letter informing me that I had won the money.  He then read the address where he said the letter had been sent.  It was one digit off.  He said that that explained it, and continued that he would have to have 1% of the total winnings in order to insure the packet with the money ($4500).  He said it would have to be insured by Lloyd's of London.  I told him it sounded like a scam.  He uttered an expletive, and I said "Bye" and hung up.

I didn't get a phone call from this number but a similar one to where all the information posted is the same. The number he called me from is 888-974-0010 and 954-837-6740

Derek Morgan just called me from the Reader's Digest Prize Center informing me that I won a 2011 Mercedes S-Class.  All I'd need to do was insure the vehicle with Lloyd's of London for $2,950.00 (USA Lloyd's) or $1,250 (Off-Shore Lloyd's).  He gave 202-621-0146 as his call back number.

A call from Derick Morgan from the Federal Gaming Commission saying that I won $450,000.  Of course I had to buy a policy from Lloyds of London first.  The phone number was 202-621-0146.

323-207-5113  telling us that we won $450,000 and gave us another number to call Lloyds of London, 1-800-445-1839,  they gave me a password to use.   They want us to buy insurance first to receive the cash / check.  Get this,  they man's name is John Smith at Lloyds / Las Vegas gaming commission?

so i got a call today from a 202-595-3336 number asking for someone whom Ive never heard of. i was truly confused and said "who?" - they hung up on me. i decided to call them right back and got "National Gaming Commission" i asked who call and what for and the guy just said "F@$% you!" and hung up on me again. i then redialed and he just picked up and said it again and hung up. i contacted the NIGC (national Indian gaming commission) and the NIGA (national Indian gaming assoc) and asked the ladies if they knew of any other gaming commission in DC. they both said no and that it is fraudulent. anyhow, i believe this person/s is just getting new numbers and trying to get info

We have received a phone call from a consumer who received a phone from a ?Detective Sullivan ? Badge #0994 with the Law Enforcement Division of the BBB of Washington, D.C.?.  He is stating that the consumer has won lottery money in the amount of $300,000 and wanted to know the name of the consumer?s bank.  Obviously this is a scam.  Just wanted to pass this information along to you.  He had to be at the bank personally so that promotional pictures could be taken.  Have you received anything phone calls on this?  And?how shall I respond.  We will do further research.  Upon Googling the phone #202-595-3348, an 800 # blog came up saying ?fraudulent number, do not answer?.  Your advice would be helpful.  And here is for your information.

fraudulent business....DO NOT ANSWER - federal game commission - left message - unknown caller
