was told I had won a very large amount of money from Hollywood Sweepstakes. Needed to call a number linked to us customs, but went to an extention that did not answer. The calling number Asked for 1% for insurance and registration.
I can guarantee you two things. First, you did not win any "Sweepstakes" unless you actually entered it. Second, it is against the law to ask you to pay for your "winnings", so the only money that will be changing hands is the money you give to these crooks. US Customs has nothing to do with any sweepstakes and has nothing to do with registration or insurance. Besides, last time I looked, Hollywood is in California which is part of the United States. Customs deals with stuff coming in from other countries or going to other countries.
