I just received all from 210-399-6780 x 1525. DEA special agent James Allen informed me that he the DEA had just intercepted a package with my name and the contents had illegal drugs in them. I was in very big trouble. They could take and my property, freeze my banks accounts, ruin my life basically. BUT they would let me take care of it by paying a fine of $3000 today and it would be like a parking ticket and not show on my record. When I said I couldn't pay, they offered a payment plan of $150 a month but I said no because I had goggled them and saw it was a scam. They said "we will have agents at your door in 5 minutes."
Very scary people!
I also get calls from this number....it must be a SCAM!
Someone is "posing" as drug enforcement...a sgt Tally. He says I need to call them ASAP because they have confiscated pkgs of drugs with my name and address on them. Drugs from a 3rd world country...what a joke!
ALERT - EXTORTION SCAM - ALERT
DEA Warns Public of Extortion Scam by
DEA Special Agent Impersonators
The Drug Enforcement Administration is warning the public about criminals posing as DEA special agents or other law enforcement personnel as part of an international extortion scheme.
The criminals call the victims (who in most cases previously purchased drugs over the lnternet or by telephone) and identify themselves as DEA agents or law enforcement officials from other agencies. The impersonators inform their victims that purchasing drugs over the lnternet or by telephone is illegal, and that enforcement action will be taken against them unless they pay a fine. In most cases, the impersonators instruct their victims to pay the "fine" via wire transfer to a designated location, usually overseas. If victims refuse to send money, the impersonators often threaten to arrest them or search their property. Some victims who purchased their drugs using a credit card also reported fraudulent use of their credit cards.
Impersonating a federal agent is a violation of federal law. The public should be aware that no DEA agent will ever contact members of the public by telephone to demand money or any other form of payment.
The DEA reminds the public to use caution when purchasing controlled substance pharmaceuticals by telephone or through the Internet. It is illegal to purchase controlled substance pharmaceuticals online or by telephone unless very stringent requirements are met. And, all pharmacies that dispense controlled substance pharmaceuticals by means of the lnternet must be registered with DEA. By ordering any pharmaceutical medications online or by telephone from unknown entities, members of the public risk receiving unsafe, counterfeit, and/or ineffective drugs from criminals who operate outside the law. In addition, personal and financial information could be compromised.
Anyone receiving a telephone call from a person purporting to be a DEA special agent or other law enforcement official seeking money should refuse the demand and report the threat.

I receieved a voice mail from "DEA Agent James Allen" I called the number back and the big clue was the same person that left me a message was the voice on the answering greeting. For such a large government division one would think more than a single person would handle their calls and answering their "switchboard". Nice try though. Might want to have a girlfriend or another scammer help you sound a little more legit.
