Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

Hey guys, so listen to this .Yesterday I get a message from "Darleen Temple " from the Department of commerce , Washington DC . It seems I’ve won second place in the American Sweepstakes . The woman was very convincing that I was about to forfeit my winnings as I apparently never responded to the notices of my winning. I was advised that I needed to contact "Russell Bennett " at Prudential Insurance to activate the policy that insurers my winnings. I call the man and he is so rude I can barely be nice, so I listen to what he has to say about my policy and apparently the money being held in escrow to cover the winnings had been sent back to American Sweepstakes and it would be up to me to cover the one percent of the total and it would be returned to me with my certified check . So I won 450.000 and only had to come with 4500 what a deal. Again the woman was very convincing and called me honey and said she would help me through to the very end. How kind. Watch out. Just happy I saw through it before it was to late. Really wish I had won
