Type of a scam: Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

I received a call from, compliance officer Bob Mitchell with the Consumer Protection Bureau. He said that I received a letter on December 23rd, 2023 from, Good Housekeeping themselves advising me that I had won 750,000 dollars. He asked what I would do with this, whether I wanted to claim it. I told him of course I would if it was legitimate. He said that this was more than legitimate. He gave me a Ref/Claim number: GHK1703, then gave me the phone number to Good Housekeeping, 866-416-1157. He then gave me a phone number, 332-455-7224, which was directly to him and was the same as the caller ID.
I did not call this number. I looked up the phone number on Google and saw all that was noted here. I am glad I did. Everyone, please be careful!

Type of a scam: Phishing

I received a phone call last week from Consumer Protection Bureau. They called from 202-864-0285. Caller was Michael Kennedy. It was a First American Sweepstakes. He said I won $750,000. I needed to pay one percent. $7500. They are sending an agent from California to deliver a check to my house. He told me to get a certified bank check. I am guessing it is a scam. I paid no money. They kind of talked me into it. They also gave me a Federal Credit Union Jim Forbes. in San Francisco. Phone number 415-363-0167. He gave me an agent to call to send the money to. Margaret Seldon. Her address is 12413 Ronald Beall Rd. Upper Marlboro MD 20774 I do not have her phone number. I did not send any money. They have been hounding me for a few day. I thought you should not have to pay money to get money. I did not send any money.

Received call moments ago stating last chance to validate and receive a cashier check from American Sweepstakes Network for $750,000. IDed himself as Robert Garcia, 347-868-6896. Further stated back on Saturday 16 November 17 I had won 2nd place winnings. Then asked questions which seemed out of place, I didn't answer, he said for me to call claims department at 866-224-2143 give my claim number, ASN0908KT they then explain what to do. And that there was a 1% insurance, $7,500, which was refundable. I then looked up on internet, sure enough a scam !!! Beware...

Phone call message to call them back at 571-363-4291. I called. A person called back saying he was officer Steven Grossman with the Consumer Protection Bureau. He said I needed to put some upfront money to insure I would pay the taxes on the $750,000 I had won. I needed to call 866-978-4777 and speak with the people whose sweep steak this was. I took that information but did not call. Shortly another "officer" from the Consumer Protection Bureau called to ask if I had questions about the previous call. I told him I thought it was a scam.
