Who called from the number +1 (917) 775-8062

My husband received a check for over $8,000 from a legitimate automotive repair shop, along with a letter from Publishers Clearing House International Lotto Commission. The letter asked him to call 1-917-775-8062 and ask for claim agent Danny Clark. The letter also said to keep this award letter strictly confidential until your cash prized winnings has been processed and remitted to your designated account. The cash prize was supposed to be $600,000.00. He thought it was legitimate because he has sent in claims to the Publishers Clearing House and he thought he had won. This check was for him to 'help pay federal and state taxes'. Because it was the International Sweepstakes he was required by law to pay customs taxes and processing fees. The check that was enclosed was 'his sponsorship check'. Today he went for an eye exam and his bill was declined. He has tried calling 1-917-775-8062 and only a messaging option. I had tried telling him that it was probably a scam, but he never believes me as he tells me I'm always negative. Yes, I'm pessimistic because nothing is ever free, even when I'm told it's free, it's not . . .somebody is paying. Unfortunately, my husband's account has been blocked and whatever money he had in his account in addition to the check amount is blocked. When I put in the phone number, I saw it is Omnipoint Communications, Inc. I'm just now remembering that I've got one call from this company in Colorado Springs, CO on the house number, but no mention who the call was for. When I tried calling them to see what they wanted the woman answering hung up on me. I then blocked her number. Obviously, my husband was the one targeted. DO NOT ACCEPT ANY CHECKS FROM THIS COMPANY . . IT'S DEFINITELY A SCAM!
