Brian Collier called me this morning, 4-16-2012, and told me I must call him back immediately. I did and got a recording. Then, I saw all the posts about this guy trying to get money. I won't be answering anymore calls from him. I'm just glad I found out it was a scam.
I rec'd a call from this number on today. The guy claimed to be either "Ryan" or Brian Paulier, "Assistant to Special Agent in Charge" at the DEA offices, District 5. This is the 3rd call that I've had of this nature and I'm really starting to get MAD! This one was by far the worst! He left a long rambling message on my answering machine, that he was obviously reading from a script! I called back - just to waste their time - and I got a recording!
The first time that one of these guys tried to scam me, it took me a little while to figure out what was up & he threatened me with "sending agents to my house!" So, I told him that I would prefer to meet face-to-face & please go ahead. Then I googled the ph # & the next time one called, I was more prepared.
The second guy went on & I played along and then at the very end I told him that "it had been fun wasting his time, like they wasted mine, but I knew that this was a scam." He tried to deny it and I laughed at him. B4 he hung up on me, he actually threatened me, with language I won't post here.
I really would like to know how to stop this from happening!
