I had the same clown call today! telling me something about some drugs I ordered being intercepted. THanks to this website I knew not to get too scared!
I received a frantic call at work from my Daughter yesterday stating there was a message from a Lt. william rice. stating they have confisgatted some drugs I supposedly ordered and that I will need to go to court on June 7th and to call him back at this number right away. I was freaked out. I work an hour away from home. Called this number back and William Rice told me my options that I would have to pay the fine of 1500.00 by west union today to get the waiver and all chg dropped. In the back of my mind I was thinking this was not right but on the other hand he kept telling me that I could get up to 12 months in a federal prison. I didn't have a computer or internet to look this number up. (Looking back now there were soo many warning signs) I was panicing and feeling faint. I called my husband right away. He was sceptical too as they wouldn't send any info over by fax so I had proof. William rice than transfered me to a Richard King ext 119? He gave me directions on how to pay the fine. I know I know I paniced and sent the money to Julio Santana 1600 george wash ave ste 107, Dominican republic. I then was told by this Richard King that he will be sending me a fax stating that the fine has been paid and charges have been dropped. Well so far no fax. I was at work today and on my break had 6 missed calls from ph# 829-754-0006. I called it back and the person who answered sounded a whole lot like William Rice. I asked him and he said that his name was Peter Franko???? I then asked why I have missed calls from this number. Peter than told me that he was with the federal faucility with the Domincan republic and it was regarding the money transfer. I transfered the money in US dollars but they needed it in their currency. I then told him I did exactly as Richard King told me to do. He than went on to say that since the money was wired wrong they were filing my paper work with the us courts. I told them to send me all the information by fax. Again nothing. I then told him my lawyer will be in contact with him he hung up and have not heard a thing from either one of these sob since. I am still soo distraught. I havent eaten for 2 days. I am just sick of the whole thing. Anything I can do to catch these SOB let me know. Please beware of ph# 829-754-0006. I tried calling this Richard King back at ph# 202-239-0426 but now you just get an answering machine and guess what they don't return your call.
Unfortunately it went thru. I am sooo upset, not just about the money but of the anxiety me and my family has went thru regarding this and the thought of how stupid I was to just hurry and send them money!!!! The whole time in the back of my mind I was thinking this is not real something allerted me that there was red flags all over this. Unfortunately my fear out weighed my inability to think clearly.
I don't think these guys are actuallyin this country, and that's why there's no fear, there's no change in operation, the calls keep coming, there are aware that many people know about their scam, after reading all the comments, Its apparent they are not hear. everyone has called the real DEA, there are nubers to report the and they continue. they-re out of the country, but using american phone numbers. so be very careful. there must be another way to alert more people. these bums are getting rich off our fears.
