I received a call from this number too. Caller was a black male and didn't sound very professional-he stuttered and paused.
I was going to go along with it but.. I got bored.
Said I was "buying illegal drugs over the phone". I stated, "uhh nooo". Then he said they had proof that I was and that I was in violation of the Ryan Act.
He started to talk some and I just hung up.
These people are scammers! They claim they are from the DEA and that I have violated certain codes of the Ryan Act. I haven't ordered anything! So far I won't accept their phone calls, they just leave me messages saying I need to call them back, so I don't know what they are trying to get out of me exactly (personal information or money). After doing an internet search, it looks like this is a pretty common scam. They claim if you send them $$ they can make it go away. Pathetic..... I wish they would go out and earn an honest living like everyone else.

I just got a call from these SCAMMERS too- claiming I ordered drugs (opiates- medicine I don't even take!) from the Dominican Republic. Claimed I violated Title 19 of some federal code and asked me if I wanted to go to jail. But then offered me a way out if I "Paid the fine in the next 45 minutes". I have a sibling in law enforcement, told them so. The guy I spoke to had a distinct hispanic accent.
Claimed they would be at me door in less than 2 hrs with a warrant, then extradite me to
Wash. DC (across the country!) and offer me a "non-violent offenders waiver" meaning pay them cash or give them a credit card.
They also claimed they've been investigating me since 2008. I haven't ordered anything in the way of meds they describe or any other kind and def. not for the last 4 years!
I told him he would need to give me his badge number and name, so I could contact an attorney, and that he would have to send me the "proof" he claims they have and claims they've been mailing to me for the last few months. I've received NO letters, NO proof, NO contact before these calls and told him so. He got angry and said "this is between you, the agent and the federal government. No third parties are allowed". So now the fed government doesn't let you have an attorney? he even tried to cite part of the Miranda rights but got it all wrong. BAH.
They just want my money.
