This is a scam. The guy calls you to.say he is with the DEA to get money out of you. These people use many names. One is Agent Michael Barnes...total scam. Report these people to.the real DEA. Then block their number. Never engage in conversation. They use many numbers. Not just this one.
I just received a call from 206-317-2916- initially it was officer Matthew Barnes from US Customs advising me of a warrant for my arrest issued and that I would be arrested shortly. He then transfered me to his Lieutenant David Wallace who again harrased me about charges being filed against me and that since I did not have a record, that he could offer me a cancellation of the warrant with an associated fee of $683. When I asked him where is the paper work, he said it was in the mail and that i should use western union or payday to pay for this, when he figured that I was not going to send money he abruptly ended the call stating that he had to leave on a case...they had radio talk in the background and noises as if at an official office ....what a scam.
Calls from Matthew Barnes, Mike Rivas, David Wallace, also a judge all requesting money for the Dominican Republic. They said there was a warrant for my arrest and I could pay it off since I was a good citizen and if I wanted to keep my record clean. They request you send it money gram, western union even transfer to a bank. Please do not fall prey to these individuals as they are part of a huge scam. All of the numbers that I have received have been reported to the DEA extortion line.
