This is a scam in which they claim they are from the FDA/DEA and that you have purchased prescription drugs online from outside of the country thereby committing a felony. In my case I had purchased the medications online but not illegally, however they told me that I was going to be arrested and could spend 5-7 years in jail because the website I ordered the medication from was actually from the Dominican Republic and run by a drug cartel. They went on to say that if I worked with them and was willing to pay a $2500 CASH fine, they would drop the charges; all I had to do was get the money and call them back in 1 hour to find out the address where I would need to take the money. I immediately knew it was a scam and alerted my local FBI branch who took it from there.

I just got a call from this man today. Same story. Stated he was with the DEA and there was an ongoing investigation, blah, blah, blah. Said for me to send a $2500.00 through Western Union to dismiss any criminal charges against me for purchasing a controlled substance (which I never did) and have no earthly idea what he is talking about! I might have purchased a non-controlled medication from that website he mentioned 8 years ago and these pharmacy people still try calling me and asking me if I want to place another order. Obviously a HUGE scam....I got off the phone with him and googled his name and came to this site. He called me back and I told him he was a Fraud and found this Blog, then some other guy got on the phone and asked me AGAIN to just wire the money or even make payments if I couldnt afford it- HA! Then, AKA Matt Peterson gets back on the phone and asked me AGAIN if I want to get out of being a FELON for life and wire the money today which he had told me earlier Friday was the deadline. His directions were for me to Western Union this money to Judge Christopher Santana at 66 Charles Street DR-INT.... WTF??? Once my husband finds out about this.....definately reporting this. Can anyone advise me the best place to report this too?
I received a call from Officer Jeanine Allen? of the
Dominican Republic/DEA office. She said that I had ordered a prescription drug over the phone back in 2007 and was in violation of the national drug laws. She said that I had a warrant for my arrest and that the area's law enforcement was awaiting her call. She than continued to say that she could arranged a fine to v be paid and I could avoid prison time. I could not remember ordering any thing. After leaving work and spending a day at my lawyer's office and $250.00 dollars and two days later I was told that my lawyer had taken carry of the situation and not to worry.
Got call from male Hispanic wanted to know what meds I took or neeed- told him none. But while I have you on the phone can I get your companies name and DEA Registration number he said that would be on label if i placed order- which I again refused to do. Caller said orders could be COD or direct from bank account. I laughed at him and then informed him I was well aware of scam and that of course in several days or next couple of weeks I probably going to get a call from some imposter DEA Agent or US customs Agent or FDA Agent about intercepted package. This got him very angry and so I do not speak in Spanish have no idea of what he said but needless to say he was pretty angry.
I just got a phone call from Detective Wright from DEA office out of Washington saying pretty much the same thing everyone else has posted. I have put up with the pharmacy for years trying to get them to stop calling me. I guess they are trying to find another way to steal people money. I will never order diet pills online ever again, hell its been 6 yrs ago. Geez! Its like the blind date that never ends.
