Is 202-866-7633 a scam or spam call?

Scam or Fraud June 10, 2019

I was contacted by phone by someone claiming to be Frank Bennett, working for the Consumer Protection Bureau located at 941 North Capitol Street, N.E., Washington CD 20002, phone 202-866-7633 or 877-906-7315 x1002. He said that I was a sweepstakes winner and a company called Holiday Sweepstakes has been trying to contact me about and award of $955K that has had $205K taken out by the IRS leaving $750K that will be delivered to me. He says that Holiday Sweepstakes is located at 6551 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV, phone 855-331-2639 and I should talk to Angela White at 702-936-6707. He says that I will have to pay for an insurance to receive the check at the coat of one percent of my winnings or $7,500 which will be refunded to me. He says that I’ll be receiving a W-1099 form (which I don’t think even exists) to prove to the IRS that the taxes have been paid.

All of this seems very suspicious to me and I have no intent of following through with any of it.
