i recieved a call from this phone # from a detective that I ordered medication and that it was coming to me from the Dominican Republic and I told them I never ordered this and they told me I was in big trouble and that they were coming to arrest me and then they said they would see what they could do for me and put me on hold a few times and finally told me that charges would be dropped and I had to pay a $2000.00 fee. Such a scam, im reporting them to FBI after I spoke to my local PD.
Received the exact message at around 10:30AM today. Same guy-- the so-called ~*~*Special Agent*~*~ Paul Roberts of the USFDA. Spoke with an American accent. Said that there were "illegal medications" supposedly purchased in 2007 and that there was a court order for arrest. Said there were agents 3 minutes away from the home that would come if we didn't comply. Gave my mother a total panic attack. After a grueling 45min interrogation--telling her she would lose her job and her home-- she was put on hold. Things had started to get suspicious when he overheard her talking to me and got very angry, telling her not to tell /anybody/ about this matter, but the scam became completely apparent when he mentioned that the charges would be dropped if she sent $2,000 to the Dominican Republic. I immediately googled 'FDA Dominican Republic' and found the numerous warnings about this very scam, and we hung up. What awful people, how could someone scare people out of money like this for a living?
