This number,202-380-9014,my Father has received a couple of calls from this number and it shows up as ACCATel, which I found out is an international phone service Company, "keeping people connected around the world."Here's a new twist for you~the man who called today, claimed he was with the Sweepstakes Fraud Commission and was collecting info on any possible fraudulent activites we may have experienced. My Father had recently been harrassed severely by the Jamaican Scammers and we had to change our number to private/unlisted. So---how did he get the number???
And what kind of deal is he trying to set up? He claimed he was going to look into this and make sure we are harrassed anymore. Well, we hadn't been since we changed numbers...My Dad received another call this morning saying he was the winner.....that's another story....is there no endddddd!!!!!!!!!!!
I got the same sweepstakes call a while ago claiming I had won a 2nd place cash prize of $450,000. I was also told that they could help with financing the insurance. They said the prize was won through Cash Prize Payments Award Company with a phone number of (718) 285-8859. When I told him I wanted to research all of this first and call him back, he told me that he worked for the FCPA (whatever that is) and that I could contact him at (202) 370-7639. Sounded like a scam, smelled like a scam, looks like it was a scam. Glad I used due diligence to research this first. The sad thing is that he sounded so professional and ready to answer any questions that I had that I almost bought into it.
