I've been through this one previously. They don't want to leave me alone. In an effort to get them to go away this time, I simply said "I've spoken to you before, and have even sent you the money you requested. That entire problem should have gone away." Then I hung up.
They did not call right back.
The first time this happened it gave me a good scare until I understood what was going on due to reports here. I could have gone round and round with them, but did not want to get worked up this morning as I need to concentrate on working rather than a scam. I'll call the DEA and leave this number though, and block the number.
Thanks to everyone who leaves notes about this scam. You have saved me lots of mental sweat.
I received the same message on my cell phone stating they were the DEA and I better call them back immediately. The wpman said they were on their way to seize all my property and any bank accounts I may have. Also I was told that I would be arrested right away and brought to federal prison. I was very upset at first because I'm disabled and rarely leave the house. I have a fairly boring life. After giving it some thought... I figured it had to be a scam because the DEA wouldn't call anyone to tell them those kind of things, especially that I'm going right to prison. Anyway, I am going to report them also. What a horribly cruel thing to do to anyone! They have to be stopped!!!
BEWARE!
This is one of MANY numbers for YMax Communications Corporation
I Googled YMax Communications, and they are the #1 worst source of SCAM complaints on the ComplaintsBoard.Com website.
According to many of the complaints posted, they lie about everything to get you to give them money (like saying that you've been named in a lawsuit, or claiming that they represent the IRS, or offering ‘Free Government Grant money’ to recently-arrived foreigners, etc).
One complainer said the people they spoke with at YMax had heavy Indian or Pakistani accents, so they might be based beyond the reach of American laws and have the phone calls transferred to them.
Based solely on my web research (and not on any personal experience beyond the first call I got from them), this is probably the worst telephone scamming operation I've ever learned about...
