Scam. Said he was a federal agent and that we had won a 2nd place prize through the Dream Foundation in Nevada (this is a dummy company set up for this scam; the real Dream Foundation is in CA). Gave me a long explanation on how to pay the "bond insurance" through the "Lords of London" (again, fake--the real insurance company if Lloyd's of London). Gave me this number to call for payment: 702-765-4465. Instead, I called the real Dream Foundation about this, who told me this scam is currently being investigated.
