OK, this was a pretty good scam if I ever heard of one. I, like many of you have ordered things from the internet like sleeping pills & viagra. When I got the call from this number my heart started racing & I felt like a little boy who got caught doing something wrong..... you know the feeling. After a couple minutes of racking my brain what this was about, I decided to google the number & began to laugh when I realized that the initial feeling was the one thing these scammers prey upon... our fear exposed & taken advantage of.
AFTER a few minutes, I got mad & finally decided to call the number back.... no one was going to grab me by the balls .... so I talked to the man on the phone & had a little fun in the process... after all, I wanted him to feel what I felt even if for a minute.... long story short, I asked a s**t load of questions & laughed at him with every thread he tried as he fumbled with threats & when he finally got so damn frustrated at the fearless a**hole (that would be me) on the other line, he cuzzed' at me and told me to f*** off..... LOL!!!!!
Got you f***er!.... A DEA agent would never linger on the phone & cuz' you out.... or search for petty threats while sounding pathetically uneducated. By the end of the quid pro quo, I think he was more scared than I was initially since I told him I knew who he was & our agency was tracking him down.... LOL!!! Take that, a**hole!
DON'T give these scammers even a minute of your time & fear moreover .... what they fear is an informed public who will not take their s**t. BTW, haven't you all who've reaceived these notices or calls notice they ALL have broken English and an accent that would make Antonio Banderas or Penelope Cruz blush... LOL!! GIVE EM' HELLL YOU GUYZ!!!!
I too received a call today. Bad connection. He Hung up on me then called back. I toldhim my father was a prosecutor, he made a few more threats and abruptly said I have to call you back. He never did.
It was 7 pm Eastern time when I spoke to him. Of course it was a scare. Real or not.. he said I was a purchaser and consumer of medication from out of the country. I may have fallen for a scam to purchase from Florida, but the company took my money and won't take my calls. I know they didnt ship anything, because they are scammers. Lesson learned. I spoke with BRian Flier evidently with DEA, the man that hung up on me. Don't know what to think.
I've received several scam calls, but they usually occur when I am waiting for a pkg. This was not the case & the caller sounded confident having 3-5 years worth of data - which is suspicous. Caller ID'd himself as Brian Collier of the DEA,this was also a voice mail which is odd in the scam scene. [calling from #301 325 8013.] He gave me a different number to call back [the one under discussion.] The reverse lookup showed the phone under the name of Jeffrey Levit and also M Clem
