Supposedly a guy named Joe Florez - claims to be from your pharmacy and tries to put in an order for a refill on prescriptions. He caught me at a time when I was in the process of ordering a LEGITIMATE refill and because I was already dealing with my REAL pharmacy, I made the stupid mistake to believe he wa in fact from my usual supplier. He managed to rip me off for $300. When I realized my mistake, I called many times to inquire and started getting many harrassing calls from MANY other phone numbers all associated with this ring of fraudulant criminals.
There are at least 3 male voices and one female voice that all seem to be connected. One voice "Joe Florez" called from 201-203-8280 to place the order, and informed me somebody would call to give me to take arrange payment and give me tracking number. Then "David Williams" called from 305-728-4671 to finalize the transaction. He explained that they were unable to take credit cards at that time so they set up a system to have a wire transfer which would "save on taxes and protect privacy"... this should have been my big red flag, but I still thought my payment would be secure and safe (it was not). They then called repeatedly, badgering me to make the payment because they claimed the package had already been sent and was sitting in limbo waiting to be delivered but they wouldn't be able to release it until payment was made. So, I paid, and waited but nothing came. (In hindsight, this should not be a surprise, I realize this now)
This is when things got REALLY crazy....
I started receiving harrassing phone calls from a woman claiming to be from the FDA named "Elizabeth Moore, badge number 21773" from phone number 301-637-6292 saying that I (of all people) have committed a crime (HA! I knew better -- wasn't buying THAT story at all!). She attempted to threaten me claiming that my package had been seized (I suppose that they try to use this scare tactic to get people to get off their back when they take your money and run). Obviously, I knew this call was B.S. I knew I had done nothing wrong and was a victim, not a criminal... anyway, I traced the number back to a woman named Rosemarie Davis at a land line in Hagerstown Maryland.
She then put somebody on the phone who started screaming at me (as if FDA people would be so unprofessional). I hung up partly because I was on another call and had to get back to it, and partly becauses I do not listen to ANYONE who behaves so irrationally. I rec'd another call... this time he was calm but tried to convince me I was going to be arrested. Again, I knew this was B.S. but I let him talk so he could keep incriminating himself. I laughed him off and told him he was crazy. I got yet another call... this time same person from another number 443-977-6402 -- now he claimed that he wa calling from the DEA. Now this person is claiming that "David Williams" had been arrested and was in custody, and was trying to somehow implicate ME for being a drug dealer! Seriously, could this POSSIBLY get any more ridiculous? This whole process was becomming amusing to some degree because I couldn't believe the lengths of madness these nutjobs were going to. I just let them continue to lie, letting them implicate themselves with more flase stories, and collected all their information to hand over to authorities.
As if running this fraudulant operation wasn't bad enough, they went even further to impersonate officers and federal officials on top of it. WOW!
I have since received my legitimate order from my real pharmacist using my prescription, but during the interrim, these guys took me for an extra sum of money. I got scammed when I unknowingly gave my info to the wrong person over the phone. My mistake. I should have known better. I will take the financial loss as a learning lesson, but I will not allow these criminals to go to such extremes to threaten me, harrass me, and even go so far as attempto to impersonate offers and federal officials in the process. I am now in the process of getting attorneys and authorities involved. I don't care about the money as much as the principal of what these guys are doing. They must be stopped.
He is engaged in fraudulant activity and due to the obscene amounts of phone calls he has made to me, I have reported him to the authorities. He is under investigation for fraud.

Oh, one more important detail... I believe their names are Daniel and Marcos Rodriguez. They wanted money to be wired to either of those names in San Fran and St. Louis...
