Who called from 2022415547

Called and left a message from blocked number and claimed to be Detective David Murray from Dept of Justice.  Accuses me of being  involved with a prescription drug scandal.  He left a magic Jack phone number 202-241-5547. Every time I called the number it said Use Magic Jack and make calls for less!  Then it said  your number is blocked and there for cannot be forwarded, please unblock your number and try again.

The same number called me today from Detective Murray Dept of Justice.  Same story regarding drug scandal.  He requested I go to the US Bank in my city and wire $1600.00 plus a service fee of $150.00.  The so called detective said to call him from the bank parking lot.  If I did not do this I would go to jail!!  What a scan had me going for a while lol !

Same number called me today said i have been found smuggling.perscription pills and they have them eith my name on it. He said if i did not pay 7500.00 i would go to jail for up to 14 years..ectnumber is 1-202-241-5547

"Detective Murray" strikes again. Same phone number, same story, 4th verse! Accused me of participating in a RX scam with "overseas suppliers" He said if I didn't pay he would have me arrested.
He had information that I thought was obtained from a recent identity theft incident so at first, I was concerned.
If this happens to you please look at the FDA.com website and you will see that they mention this scam. The FDA asks that you only report this event to the FDA if you actually sent money as then they have something to trace.
"Detective" Murray and his "gang" should be ashamed of themselves and should remember the laws of karma.

I got this from FDA scam site.

FDA Warns Public of Continued Extortion Scam by FDA Impersonators
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning the public about criminals posing as FDA special agents and other law enforcement personnel as part of an international extortion scam.

The criminals call the victims -- who in most cases previously purchased drugs over the Internet or via "telepharmacies" -- and identify themselves as FDA special agents or other law enforcement officials. The criminals inform the victims that purchasing drugs over the Internet or the telephone is illegal, and that law enforcement action will be pursued unless a fine or fee ranging from $100 to $250,000 is paid. Victims often also have fraudulent transactions placed against their credit cards.

The criminals always request the money be sent by wire transfer to a designated location, usually in the Dominican Republic. If victims refuse to send money, they are often threatened with a search of their property, arrest, deportation, physical harm, and or incarceration.

"Impersonating an FDA official is a violation of federal law," said Michael Chappell, the FDA's acting associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. "The public should note that no FDA official will ever contact a consumer by phone demanding money or any other form of payment.”

FDA special agents and other law enforcement officials are not authorized to impose or collect criminal fines. Only a court can take such action, with fines payable to the U.S. Treasury.

Anyone receiving a telephone call from a person purporting to be an FDA or other law enforcement official who is seeking money to settle a law enforcement action for the illegal purchase of drugs over the Internet should refuse the demand and call the FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations Metro Washington Field Office at (800) 521-5783 to report the crime.

In addition to posing as FDA officials, criminals have posed as special agents of the DEA, FBI, U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Customs Service, as well as U.S. and Dominican prosecutors and judges. In response, the FDA, in conjunction with various federal, state, and local agencies, is actively pursing criminal charges.

The FDA also reminds consumers to use caution when purchasing prescription drugs over the telephone or the Internet. In addition to the increased risk of purchasing unsafe and ineffective drugs from Web sites operating outside the law, there is the danger that personal data can be compromised.
