Type of a scam: Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

The scammer said, my prize was in Red Lake Fall, MN and asked if I knew where that was. I did. He didn't speak English well and had a hard time hearing. The was a lot of background noise. He wanted me to get a pen and paper to write down information his name, prize numbers etc, and have it read back to him. I could only play along so long, especially with a Jamaican phone number. He hung up then.
