I received a call on 7/5/2013 from a special agent steven Martinez who states is a DEA agent about prescription medication and packages scheduled to come to my house. I call back and there is no answer nor does it say DEA or any time of federal recording.

This is a scam trying to get you to wire money. I started getting these calls within a few weeks of purchasing a medication for my dog through a "Canadian Pharmacy" with a valid prescription from our vet. The callers pose as DEA agents and will tell you that you are going to be arrested or that you are part of an investigation, they then inform you that if you send money (usually want it wired) then they can get the charges dropped. The calls can come from many different numbers (most actually originate outside of the US although they make the calls look like they are coming from the US. Here is more info, do not answer or if you do answer, have fun with them...but DO NOT SEND THEM MONEY!
