Caller posed as Special Agent in charge James Hunt of the US DEA. Threatened a warrant and arrest for purchasing online diet pills. Had my old address and cell phone and purchase history. Who knew buying Hydroxycut was illegal. (Total scam!) Rambled on and on about my arrest and search, extraditing to the Dominican Republic because the drug dealers were arrested and waiting for trial but he offered to speak to the us attorney on my behalf. His mistake was putting me on hold while I searched the name and number. Trying to extort money by telling me I can pay a civil fine out of court. When I started questioning him he became irate and threatened my arrest even more. Confirmed with my brother In Law who is DEA that this is a big scam and to report it immediately.
Called and identified himself as a DEA agent and that a warrant for my arrest would be issued if I did not contact him immediately. This is not the first time someone has tried to scam me and it won't be the last.
I had the same thing just happen to me and it was terrifying. Thank God you guys posted this information online otherwise I think I was 5 seconds away from giving him my information to pay the fine.
Same as above. USDA agent- Telling me I brought online prescription drugs back in 2009 and that it was against the law. Well I called the USDA directly and is not that phone number! Also, that was 7 years ago and there is something called statue of limitations.
