It's funny that their is a REAL Kerry Hamilton working for the DEA. There is also a scammer out there going by the name of Gregory Mahone from Sacramento, claims to have two kids, Terry or Kerry Hamilton and Carrick Hamilton. needed money for an emergency blood transfusion in NIGERIA ofcourse. I believe he possibly also goes by the names NATHAN SMITH, NATE SMITH, STEVEN NOBLES, KEITH NOBLES, TARSHELLE JANET GIBSON, MARK SIMITH, GEORGE SMITH, NATHAN GEORGE SMITH. Uses the # 503-951-4120 Woodburn Oregon and also a sign language interpreter Sorenson Relay phone service as well as Purple Relay services. (FCC regulated)
IP 80.89.182.179
WESTERN UNION - ALLOWS Americans and others to send to NIGERIA, etc - should also be held responsible!
CHASE BANK - Allowing Americans to open accounts to have fraudulent CHECKS and WIRE TRANSFERS to take place to and from NIGERIA - should be held responsible for their actions!
MAGICJACK - Allows criminals to use their services and NOT take appropriate action - involved?? posssibly
These threats are ridiculous and what does our Government do for us?? Allow companies to NOT take liability for their actions, MAGICJACK, CHASE, WESTERN UNION???
I received a phone call from 202-241-5763. They said they were from the DEA and that I owed a fine of $950.00 for drugs received from the dominecan Republic or I would be picked up and arrested this afternoon..This is a scam and needs to be stopped. The elderly are falling for this. What can you do?
I received a call from this same "Jerk!". He humg up on me after I gave him a few choice words when he mentioned $850 would be needed to keep me out of jail. "Oh REALLY, Mr. DEA?, because I remember DEA standing for Drug Enforcement ADMINISTRATION (not Agency) in Washington DC and none of their locations being at 1236 29th St. NW where your phone states you're calling from!" I was on the computer when he called and ran a phone report on this number and DEA in DC which gave me this info.
Had the same message from this Scum Bag today! William Rice stating he was a DEA Agent from Washington DC that I received drugs from outside of the US, which I new nothing about. He did not ask for money yet, But. . he called called twice, the second time he called he said, I could contact an attorney or he will have an officer come and pick me up at my home today with a warrant. Then he stated I could just pay the fine. I thought, 'fine'? we did not go to court yet, what fine? That was the only hint I had this might not be quite right. Other than that I was SCARED OUT OF MY MIND! Crying, thinking the worst, then we looked up his number and this was the first website that popped up. Glad to see others are reporting him and making him known out their for others.
Here's hoping the next person he calls and scares, comes to this website BEFORE they send him any money!
Agent "William Rice" called us Sunday 12/26, identifying himself as DEA from Washington DC. Claimed we had purchased items illegally and had upcoming court date 1/10. Started off somewhat smooth & professional but got tripped up when I pressed for specifics. Claimed we could retain an attorney or "pursue other routes to remedy". He assured us we'd be getting information for the "court date probably sometime soon"- seemed very fishy. I googled the number this morning and thanks to all who posted their experiences with this scam artist. What a moron. I expect he will call us back but now I am ready to deal with him.
I received the same call on 1/7/11from agent William Rice and then Peter Franco called back. I paid the $950 like a fool, it was sent to the Domican Reb sent to Julio Joseph and Money Gram sent pesos, they called back wanting me to go back to Western Union and do it again, that's not happening. He said they will be sending me a summons in the mail
