I find it hilarious that you are an educated college professor and actually felt the need to research this. What a clown. They had a recording tell me to call them, The DEA, because I bought illegal prescription drugs. I call them back every five minutes begging them to let me turn myself in.
I get these calls a lot. Call them back or talk to them & get as much info as possible. Play along, act scared & tell them you'll send the money. Get their address & ask for a badge number. THEN- google the real D.E.A. & give them all the info you've collected. A real D.E.A. agent told me the they would never call a person, they'd show up at your door.

So I received many calls from 425-880-3768 on my cell phone and then on my work phone. The person left a voice mails on my cell and work phone stating his name was Jason O’Connor(a paralegal) and that I needed to call him A.S.A.P. and if I did not call him back then he felt sorry for me. I called him back and he was very rude telling me that I had defaulted on a $500.00 Payday loan, he had the last 4 of my SSN, personal email, address, cell # and work #. I asked him who was the loan with and he stated US Cash Lending, when I asked him for the # to call them; he told me that this would be a conflict of interest and that I was a suspect. I then hung up called my bank, they put a freeze on my account and went to the local police department to file a complaint/fraud case. The officer called the 425-880-3768 and asked to speak to Jason O’Connor after identifying his self as a Sgt with the Cedar Rapids, IA police department and they transferred him to Tom Stevens “Jason’s partner”. The office told “Tom” to stop calling me and that in the state of Iowa, if someone tells you to stop calling them and to send a written notice with their address and direct contact #, and they continue to call; that is considered Harassment. I have not received another call from them. However now I have started to receive calls from 210-390-8365, Officer Jeb Dawson, with a very strong middle eastern accent left me a messaging saying he was calling from Federal Legally Defender Law Firm. I work for a phone company, so I know that they can send whatever # they want. I have to go back to the PD and file harassment charges.
