This same gentleman called me several times last week and left me messages. He finally reached me this morning, because I'm at home sick, and gave me the same spill. Actually, I was frantic!! He had me in tears. But, he wanted $1700.00 from me to make all this go away! I'm SO glad I found this information on this scam artist because I was trying to find a way to send him the money. I called the DEA and reported this John Lewis. Hopefully, this won't happen to anyone else!!
Just got a call from John from the DEA 202-239-2302. Claims he is a DEA agent and I will be arrested today as a warrant for my arrest has been issued. He asked for $1300 to be WU to Betania Duran in the Dominican Republic or I would be arrested. I called him back to say I know this is a scam and he said I will have to report to court pn Monday. I said gladly and I will call the local aurhoturities. He said my money would be returned in 45 minutes.
I got a scary call from this guy claiming he was the DEA and would give me a deal if I wired money. It is a scam. Notified police. He lives in Washington. Goes by Brian and all different last names. FBI called me last night and DEA called this morning. Woman in Dominican Republic name is Betania Duran. Major scam.
Please someone!!!! I need help. Lt. John Lewis got me good!! I am so ashamed and humiliated. What do I do? How can we get him? I also left a detailed message with DEA. I am beside myself!!!!
