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!
This guy has been harrassing me for days. I've ignored all his calls, but decided to answer today to play with him. He needs to get a job and quit trying to scam working people. I also reported it to the DEA.
I recieved a message on January 21, 2013 from someone proclaiming to be Special Agent Lawrence Matthews. I returned the call as the voice mail that they left sounded semi-serious and urgent. I'm from Houston and they called from a 210 area code, which is generally San Antonio. I used a fake name after I attempted to give him my name 3 different times. He was very unprofessional and I could hear other people talking and saying the same thing he was sying to me in the background. When I asked him for his badge number, he became defensive and proceeded to threaten me with Jail time. He said that agents were in fact on the way to my location, at which point I knew it was 100% a scam. I then just kept calling back with my phone, using different names such as Ben Dover, just too see how far they would take it. (Word play....get it?) After about a good 2 hrs, I became bored and uninterested so I called the REAL LAWRENCE MATTHEWS at the Houston DEA (713) 693-3505 and told him about these people using his idenity. Needless to say, he wasnt too pleased.....Let's just say, since they wanted to be the DEA so bad, they're about to get their wish and become apart of them really soon.
I am disabled but he said I had to go to a convenience store and wire Monday today....right this second or he would send agents to my door. I have sustained brain damage from an injury so I was confused at first but even I could tell it was a scam
An Individual Identifying himself as a Javier Pena of the DEA, requested I call him back due to an ongoing investigation of drug purchased via the Internet. The story is that they closed a pharmacy and several packages were sent to my attention.
He gives the number 1-210-399-6700 x 1525. It sounds 'official'.
However, the DEA DOEES NOT MAKE CALL TO INDIVIDUALS AT HOME.
"The DEA and any law enforcement agency for that matter would never call the public over the telephone and demand money or demand money period," said Special Agent Jodi Underwood with the Seattle DEA office. "
The DEA is concerned and has put together a special extortion scam hotline. If you receive a call from one of these crooks, hang up immediately and call the real DEA at 1-877-792-2873.
You cant stop these pathetic people. Theres literally nothing you can do but to report it, put the number on the "Do Not Call list"/ Block it and carry on with your day. PLEASE NOTE, the FBI/DEA/Goverenment wont warn you or try to extort you....well, maybe in Mexico but NOT in the U.S.!! If they want you, they'll come and get you, simple as that. I've spent countless hours and even invested in a Cricket phone with a falsified account to harrass and fill up their voicemail box just so it wont happen to other people. It's pointless. they are not, wont and can't be stopped. They use a "switch board" which originates in Santa Domingo, which is why they wont be caught. So unless you want to have some fun, waste your time with pointless threats and have the time to waste, I recrommend the ladder approach and block them. Good Luck and dont fall for anything.
....Karma will find Mr. Julio Joseph sooner or later
