DEA Warns Public of Extortion Scam by
DEA Special Agent Impersonators
The Drug Enforcement Administration is warning the public about criminals posing as DEA special agents or other law enforcement personnel as part of an international extortion scheme.
The criminals call the victims (who in most cases previously purchased drugs over the lnternet or by telephone) and identify themselves as DEA agents or law enforcement officials from other agencies. The impersonators inform their victims that purchasing drugs over the lnternet or by telephone is illegal, and that enforcement action will be taken against them unless they pay a fine. In most cases, the impersonators instruct their victims to pay the "fine" via wire transfer to a designated location, usually overseas. If victims refuse to send money, the impersonators often threaten to arrest them or search their property. Some victims who purchased their drugs using a credit card also reported fraudulent use of their credit cards.
Impersonating a federal agent is a violation of federal law. The public should be aware that no DEA agent will ever contact members of the public by telephone to demand money or any other form of payment.
The DEA reminds the public to use caution when purchasing controlled substance pharmaceuticals by telephone or through the Internet. It is illegal to purchase controlled substance pharmaceuticals online or by telephone unless very stringent requirements are met. And, all pharmacies that dispense controlled substance pharmaceuticals by means of the lnternet must be registered with DEA. By ordering any pharmaceutical medications online or by telephone from unknown entities, members of the public risk receiving unsafe, counterfeit, and/or ineffective drugs from criminals who operate outside the law. In addition, personal and financial information could be compromised.
Anyone receiving a telephone call from a person purporting to be a DEA special agent or other law enforcement official seeking money should refuse the demand and report the threat.
Hey I got the same call from the same number!! He called me Saturday morning which I thought was strange. I didn't answer his call but his message said I was under an investigation. He also has a strong foreign accent.
Same phone call this morning. Scared me half to death. Sayin my husband was under investigation. He did not ask for money but said my husband had to call back. He also had an accent. So happy i checked it out first. I almost had my husband call him back.
I received the call yesterday on 12/27 demanding $1700 I was so scared and crying I had a sick child w GI symptoms, I had to go back and forth to my bank and Western Credit Union. I was crying I knew I didn't do anything illegal I have never done anything illegal in my life. I am reporting and the rest of this personnel. It is a federal offense to impersonate a federal agent. This number I got a call from is 1-571-207-4892. Thank goodness Western Credit Union refused to send the money and I got it all back. He scared me so bad saying I wouldn't see my kids for 5 yrs cuz I would be in prison etc.... It was not even controlled substance by any means. I am so glad I looked him up.
Anyone else please call 877-792-2873 so we can nail these criminals!!!! I spent half my day doing this and the whole time I was going place to place he stayed on the phone with me. I am SO upset people in this world have nothing better to do!!! How awful :((
