Follow up to my previous posting. Checked with DHL online and phoned customer service directly about the tracking code sent me. All online attempts to find the tracking code and conversation with customer service rep confirmed that no such tracking code was in their system and it wasn't even a DHL code. Will check with Western Union about this mysterious person/address in the Dominican Republic.
I seem to have joined the ranks of the douped. I also sent $550.00 using the Green Dot card. Now I cannot get him to call me back for a refund. I guess I am totally out of luck. I will not give up until I get my money back. Does anyone know how else to get in touch with him>
I was a victim.....fell for the threat and paid $2500 in cash. I had placed an order for phentermine and he ( Ricky Jackson was his name) acted like it was coming the next day Fed EX. Then, a couple of days later he called and said a DEA agent from the Dominican Republic had seized my package and he was going to arrest me or I needed to pay a LARGE fine via Western Union. "Ricky Jackson" siad that they had all of my information and had my name on a "watchList". I BELIEVED THE SICK [***]!!!!!! He said he had already paid $5000 from his "Global Meds" account. He said that nothing like this had ever happened to him and his company. He was so scary and believeable...a real con artist!! Had me feeling bad for him trying to order for me and my package was busted and the DEA (Mr. Sloan) was sitting IN HIS OFFICE!!!!! I borrowed the money from my poor brother who always has a lot of cash on hand. My husband still does not know about this. I will be paying my brother back in payments (which will take at least a year!!). No new couch for me right now!!! I cannot believe I was SOOOOOO stupid . I guess because I thought I ordered the diet pills from him and I had ordered online a couple of times in the past 4 years....I thought I was in big trouble!!! I am still aching from this bad mistake and sorry I was so naive. Please give me the number I should call about this . I wish I could retrieve the money....I know that probably won't happen, however, I hope he can be arrested. What is the Western Union phone number I could call? I still have the address and info....this occurred on Tuesday, March 28, 2011@ 8:12AM to Miguel Ferreras, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Can you help me in any way? It has been a week since this happened and I'm still thinking about it constantly!!! I'm glad I found this website to talk about it...It helps me get over it by telling someone.
Mr. so-called Jackson is a cheat and a scam. I also feel like a fool. I only wish that there was recourse but, of course, the only recourse we have is exactly...nothing. I got clipped this week for $650.
Got a call from 'Globalmeds', saying that a package via DHL was waiting for me. I had to go to Western Union and send $800 (first I was asked for $850) to Miguel Ferreras, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.and then the package would be released to me by DHL. I did not order such package and have never ordered drugs to be sent to my home of any kind through an online pharmacy nor would I ever need to do so. The first call came from 1-980 233-8100 and was told I was talking to a Mr. Anthony Capella. He claimed that he was a pharmacist licensed in New Jersey and gave an address of 101 Paragon Drive, Edson (Edison ?) New Jersey. When I asked about more information, he put me on to his manager Ricky Jackson in Miami Florida. Ricky insisted that the drugs had been ordered by a third party and sent to my home. He couldn't provide me with a phone number used to order the package, saying it was 'an unknown number'. Ricky gave the address of his warehouse as 8532 North West, 66th Street, Miami, Florida, 33166. My conversations (at least three) with Ricky came from 1-305 280-8555.He gave me the instructions above about the Dominican connection and insisted that payment had to be made within the hour and a great big, lengthy explanation how my refund would arrive after I paid the money via Western Union and sent the package back to him. I became more and more skeptical about the haste he insisted on especially as DHL was close to closing for the day. I asked him for the DHL tracking number so I could verify the existence of such a package. He claimed that wasn't possible because he'd be fired if he did so before payment was made. That increased my suspicions even more. He intimated that dire results (there were never any threats) could ensue if I didn't act quickly. I finally said that I would check DHL in the morning. He then asked for my e-mail address so his boss could contact me. A few minutes later, an e-mail came with a tracking code of some sort. I'll check it out and make a follow up on 800notes.com.
