Who called from 2025808128

Male caller stated that I had won money from a sweepstakes and instructed me to contact Mark Coleman at U.S. Customs at phone number 718-285-8805.

Exact same experience as above.  I was told I by "Agent Grant" from the department of justice.(with a thick accent) that I won $875,000.   He said he received a letter from JFK airport and I was to call Mike Coleman at U.S. customs.  It seems a little odd that the Department of Justice handles sweepstakes prizes.  Also, he didn't give a clear name of the sweepstake I supposedly won.  I'm going to call Mike Coleman just to find out their request (scam) so I can post what they are asking--I'm sure they will want money sent to claim this prize.

I have received several phone messages from the Justice Department from Agent Grant ,asking me to call back. I figured
it was a scam. I want to know how he got my cell number and my name.

I got called today twice by this number.  The caller was a male with a thick accent. He stated that he was an agent from the IRS and that if i or my lawyer didnt call him back then good luck to me as bad things will unfold.
