this man claiming to be manuel costello, threatened me to have me arrested if i didnt pay 5400.00. he said my name came up in a drug bust in dominican republic (i know nothing of this)I am a housewife late forties living quietly in oregon. he wouldnt listen when i had no idea what he was talking about. he insisted i was going to be extradited and face criminal charges for something i had no knowledge of at al of any kind. he threatened to ruin my life family etc...i sent 5400.00 western union and now feel like a complete victim in every way imaginable!!!i called the real dea i called this number back demanded my money back and he just kept insisting he was dea. i offered to call dea and have a confrence call so they could trace him! He declined so im pressing federal scamming extortion charges!!!!
I just received this same kind of call from Jon Garcia. He basically started off by telling me to be truthful with him. Then he went on to say that tomorrow two federal agents would be at my work to arrest me. I would need to hire a federal lawyer and that I would lose my job and custody of my children. He then started to work a deal by telling me to convince him that i would never again order online. Then he said two agents would be in the building in 45 minutes to destroy my package that was confiscated. Could I pay a fee? I said that sounds kind of....He the got pissed and kept saying that sounds what? What were you going to say and hangs up on me. I did order phentermine online many years ago and never received the package. At the time, I didn't know it was illegal. I know this was scam, but is this something that the DEA could really do? I am now fearful that something like this could happen in the future.
Another place to file a complaint, is with the FTC. They want, and encourage people to file in order to build a
history and look for patterns of criminal activity. They do not however, deal with individual consumer complaints.

Below is a list of other (or perhaps the same) DEA scammers. Read through and cross-post these numbers anywhere or
