These scum of the earth guys are now posing to work for PEPCO the local electric company here in Wash.DC. They tell you that you owe PEPCO $902 and if they are not given a credit card that your power will be turned off in two hours. I hope that these guys suffer for a whole lot longer then two hours some time!!!
"Special Agent Karl Colder, badge #K75493, out of the Washington DC office" of the DEA called me to "let (me) know that and an arrest warrent was in process for possession of illegal prescription drugs purchased through the internet." After some conversation with him - he was pretty convincing, by-the-way - he told me that due to my outstanding record of no arrests or prior convictions he would submit my name to the Prosecutor "Pamela Bondi, from Tallahasee, FL" requesting that I be reviewed for the "Defendant Release Program", but I would have to pay a fine of $1,500 for possession. I asked to speak to his supervisor and he transferred me (provbably passed the phone across the table) to "Lt. Brian Crowell" who immediately guided me to the real Brian Crowell on the DEA website.
Anyway, this schmuck's number is 202-241-3860 extension 209. I would invite anyone who has copious time on thier hands to call and harass the snot out of him. Just don't get wrapped up in his horse $hit ...
I had a call the same day as M Ann Elias. When I read her post, it was 11 hours old. I just now decided i should post as well.
Special Agent Karl Colder "from the Washington area" called to let me know that my name (he used my maiden name) came across his desk in relation to "an open federal investigation" related to drugs purchased via the internet, delivered to my PO Box. And he had the correct PO Box #. He said they had "proofs and tracking numbers". The words "proofs and tracking numbers" seemed to be rather unintelligent to me, so I figured he was bogus. Special agents have college degrees, and this person didn't seem to be very well educated. So I didn't, and have no intention of, calling him back. Same number as above, but my extension number was different.
The DEA doesn't call people and try to extort money out of them for bogus charges. Report your caller to the real DEA. http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/pubs/pressreleases/extortion_scam.htm
