I received a call from this A-hole by the name Of Mark Thomas claiming to be a DEA agent. I already knew it was a scam because prior to him calling me I had received another call from a Lynn Ryan also claiming to be a DEA agent and that i was involve in buying illegal medications online. She told me that a was going to be charge with a felony and that DEA were on there way to arrest me so i told her that if i was going to be arrested i was going to have my attorney give her a call when i told her that she got angry and said i did not need an attorney and when i reply you must be [***] kidding me you are saying i'm getting arrested and are telling me i don't need a lawyer. She got so pissed off because of the way i was speaking to her that she hung up on me so i had one off my attorney that i work with call her back and they never picked up phone. Mark Thomas try doing same but it back fired i called him back and started messing with him.
Looks like this scam is still ongoing. Just got a call from this number today at 2:52 EST.Whenever I get a call and find it on this site I save it to my contacts as a reminder If they call again, which they usually do. I'm adding this number to my contacts as "XXX DEA Scam"
I received a phone call from an unknown number stating that I was entitled to a large some of money from the government. In order to receive it I had to call 202-241-0206 which was supposedly the accounting department. I was told that I could receive the money in one of three ways: 1) Direct wire transfer to my checking savings account; 2) a money gram that could be picked up at Walmart or Walgreen and 3) direct wire transfer to my savings account.
It sounded like a big scam so I looked up the phone number on a phone look-up site. The site also gave 363 phone numbers that were listed as telemarketers or scams. All have the same area code (202) which I think is Washington DC.
