When I get phone calls like this, the conversation usually goes
something like:

me: I won!!  Really!  Oh man, that's awesome!

them: Yes.  We just need your bank account number to deposit your
winnings.

me: Oh man, I would, but my wife & I are going through a nasty divorce
and she has my bank account locked down.  Besides, I don't want her to
find out about it.   How about if I just come by and pick up the check
in person; where is your office?

them: We're in another state, and we have to have the account number for
tax purposes.

me: well, ok.  I suppose I can go open an account with no money in it
that my wife doesn't know about.  Can I have your phone number to call
you and let you know when it's open?

them: --click--
