I just got a call too from this phone number... a "Commanding Officer" named Brian Colliar. Okay....I was scared shi&&*&^^. I mean really scared to death!. My husband came home because he was worried I was so upset, and I never get that way.
This guy threatned my property and everything in his message. And yes, regarding a pharmacutical company.
So, what should I do now?
Obviously, not call him back (god I am glad I found this website a couple months back when I received another weird-o phone number call!)...
Anyway, I am thinking I should call my states Attorney General?? Please- any avice would be great. And thank you Sue for your explanation above, after reading it...I was so relieved, I just cant tell you. What is this world coming to when perople do this to other people just for a buck??
Anne,
I too got a call this morning, 4-16-2012 from Brian Collier. Scared me too. I'm so thankful that you guys informed me of what was really going on. I feel so relieved!! All of you have a great day, and thanks again.
SImilar Call as above on number 301-825 5010 from Stg Brian Collier Badge #294. Very harassing and threatening. Supposely I had ordered drugs via internet or via phone, he could not tell me when or what I had ordered, but told me he had all the records. On phone, he said he had police standing outside my residence and was ready to arrest me. Then he played the"nice" card and said he had a few options for me and would call off the officiers outside. Option A) was for me to hire an international lawyer to fight my case (according to him this would cost thousands of dollars and probably still require jail time), Option B) was to plead guilty and probably serve 8 months in jail, 18 months probation and 4500 hours of community serve, Option C) was to pay and fine and everything would go away. the fine was $2784.00 and had to be wired via western Union in the next 4 hours to an address in Dominican Republic.
It seemed pretty clear it was a scam fairly early in the conversation. It seemed he was reading from a script and kept on repeating my name, although he got my name wrong a few times.
I hope they bust this scam and this guy does not threaten anyone less or get any money from anyone.
Putting him in jail would be good use of my tax dollars
I never did call the guy back, just got it all on my answering machine. So tell me, from Andrew and my's post earlier this week....does this guy (the fake DEA dude) continually keep calling people leaving these harrassing messages or what? I haven't heard from him since my post earlier this week. Does anybody know?
This Brian Collier called me too and the exact same thing - either wirre money to the Dominican Republic or go to jail. I was stupid enough to believe him and wired $800 to someone in the DR. Then he calls me back and says I need to send another $1500 or I will be arrested. He told me the DEA and US Customs had a wire tap on my phone. I feel like such a fool. I called the abuse hotline # listed above, 877-792-2873, and am also calling the local DEA office to report this scam. Please don't be fooled like I was!
He is a scam artist and what he is doing is illegal.
