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.
Extortion Scam Criminal
The criminals call the victims (who in most cases previously purchased drugs over the internet 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 internet 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 internet 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 using the online form below. Please include all fields, including, most importantly, a call back number so that a DEA investigator can contact you for additional information. Online reporting will greatly assist DEA in investigating and stopping this criminal activity.
I just got the same bs call from a "special agent gregory harris" saying that my name came up in a drug investigation for the LAPD. Thank you for your posts folks. I'll be blocking that number.
Special Agent Greg Harris phoned and told me my name came up on a drug investigation. I said ok and he said did you purchase drugs over the internet. I said no. He said well your name came up and we are about to arrest you. I said yeah I am sure the DEA would be calling me to tell me this so take your scam somewhere else. He said mam I take exception to what you are saying. I said ok BYE. Stupid scammers don't fall for it!!!
Wow, so glad i found this site. Got the same call from a Gregory Harris about how I was going to be arrested for buying diet pills online back in 2010. Scary thing, I actually did, and he knew. At first he wanted me to go to the courthouse to pay my $4000.00 fine and this scared the crap out of me. So as I was on my way to the courthouse he calls and says its too late, that they already issued the warrant and will be taken custody when I get there, about this time I was crapping myself. Then he says I can pay the fine with a Reloaded Pack, and to get them at Safeway. This is when I was relieved thinking it was a scam and got on the computer to find this site. WHEW... Thank YOU!
