My mother in her 80's just received 4 phone calls from the Dea special agent and said that she was buying illegal drugs off the internet and she would be arrested if she didn't pay now with a credit card. Please let your parents and friends know what is happening and make sure they do not fall for this scam.
This man (couldn't catch name) said he was from Food & Drug Admin. My name came up in ongoing investigation. If I didn't call them back that day they would come and pick me up.
A lady called and said she was from Food and Drug Administration. She named all the big pharmacies(Walgreen's, Walmart, Target, ect.) she said they were involved in illegal drugs. She said they confiscated a package from my house and they were coming to arrest me. She started to get hostile with me and almost cursed. I hung up and called police. She called back a few times but I didn't answer.
These people have called twice today saying they are from the DEA. The first time they spoke to me and said they were on their way to arrest me for buying illegal drugs on the internet. I told them I buy deodorant on the internet from Drugstore.com but nothing else and put my husband on and they hung up. Second call my husband answered and they asked to speak to me and he said I wasn't home and what was it in regard to. They said I bought illegal prescription drugs. He asked them what kind and they didn't know what to say and then said they were coming to arrest him because he had bought cocaine on the internet. They said they would be here in 10 minutes. I called the DEA today and they said this is a scam and not to worry about it, but to report it. We reported it on their website scam alert section. He said typically they ask for money. I think we got them off their scripts and they didn't know what to do.
I received a phone call from this number and they said they were calling from the DEA and that my name keeps coming up in an ongoing investigation. They said I was ordering drugs over the internet and it was being smuggled to my address from the Dominican Republic. They advised an officer would be here to arrest me in 15 minutes and they were going to fly me to Washington Dc for a court date. I notified the local police in which they said it was a scam. It was unnerving since my id was recently stolen although, I knew I was not smuggling drugs but never can be sure of people who steal your identity. I received another message today threatening I have 24 hours to return their call or they were going to proceed with pressing charges on me. I called the local DEA who said this is a scam and their next move is to try and get me to send them money and the number they want called back could also charge me a lot of money. Be Aware they are convincing.
