Got a call today from a person purporting to be from the DEA. Blew him off, and he tried to sound official. Will have friend in law enforcement call the number back if he persists. Bunch of BULL.
The people claiming to be DEA from this number is a completely SCAM. Please do not entertain nor be intimidated by calls from this or any other number claiming to be DEA. If you are doing something that the DEA wants you for be sure they won't call you they will come and get you.
The callers will say they are DEA and that you ordered drugs illegally online and most likely you did because they can't sell them online anymore so now they are resorting to blackmailing those who have ordered online drugs. This could be antibiotics. Anything ordered online without a prescription in the US is illegal.
What is really scary is they will ask you to pay them a "FINE" to get out of trouble. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! They will also offer to come to your home and collect the money. Just tell them you will report immediately to the nearest DEA office and turn yourself in because you husband/wife/uncle/mother or whoever is Law Enforcement and they will escort you there and you will find out they will say NO don't do that blah blah blah. It's so sad that these scammers from other countries are infiltrating our country and probably to fund terrorist operations. DO NOT under any circumstances give these people money.
The number is registered with YMAX, which means it's a MagicJack number! Since when do DEA agents use MagicJack?
Obviously scammers from the Dumb-inican Republic.

Got a phone call from the same number, tried to tell me I had a warrant for my arrest, told them to come to my house. Spoke with my neighbor who is a police officer, he was going to wait with me just in case. did a google search and found out their scam, they were trying to get money out of me.
Got a call from the same number, tried to tell me I had a warrant for my arrest as well....said he was from homeland security...and that I had ordered something online a medication and it was illegal, and I was looking at 12 to 36 months in a federal prison....I could resolve this matter if I paid him $900.00...if not I was in some serious trouble....Jimmy Soxx was his name.
