"Instant Promo Sweepstakes (Mr Jonathan Ideh, Suzanne Bergen)" are labels used by a fake lottery and fake "claims agent" operating in the UK and probably in Nigeria. The UK phone numbers used in the scam are Special Service numbers (+44 70xxx) which can forward the call to any phone worldwide. In fake lottery scams the presence of a +44 70xxx number sually indicates that the crimianls are based in West Africa, though the payment is made to a gang member based in the UK.
The name "Suzanne Bergen" was also used in the "Heritage Classic Foundation" fake lottery scam which is probably run by the same gang.
