I got a call from this number saying that they were the DEA and had a search warrant for my house and that I have to call them back or they would exexecute the warrant. He had a deep mexican accent and if I did not call back I would be in even more trouble.
I had a message on my home phone saying that I needed to contact special agent Benton at the DEA. When I call this morning he said that special agents would be coming to my house to arrest me and search my house for medication I supposedly purchased on line years ago. He said that I would have to go to a federal courthouse and pay my fine...of $1050 dollars. If I did not pay the fine I would be prosecuted and sent to federal prison for 5 years. He knew my address and said he would reprt it and get the agents here within an hour. I told him that I would have my attorney contact him. He started getting very agitated and when I got upset he said that since I couldn't get the money to the courthouse, he would see what kind of arrangements he could come up with.... I hung up and called my attorney. I looked up the number and found that I am not the only one this has happened to.!
We received a voice mail on our home phone stating that Deputy Agent in Charge, Rodney Benson, with Rockville Md DEA office had a search warrant for our house and an arrest warrant. Suspecting a scam, we called the local police dept and filed a report. The officer assured us there was not a federal arrest warrant out and that the call was probably a simple mistake. A second call from the "agent" this morning demanded that we go to a Federal Court House 5 hrs away and pay an $1800 fine by 1:00 or the warrant would be issued. As an alternative, we could go to Walmart and send a Moneygram by 1:00. We asked for more information, report # or detail, the "agent" stated that would be available in the arrest warrant, and he became increasing beligerant.
At this point, we called the local PD again. We were assured by the second officer that this is a scam, and federal officers do not demand payment on the spot. He also advised not to answer the calls and that they would eventually stop.
I too received a phone call / voice mail message from this (DEA Drug Enforement Administration) Special Agent Rodney Bently yesterday afternoon. The same information was left on my machine except he called me by my maiden name ( married over 6 years). Seems this person must have gotten on line customer service list and trying to SCAM money I have called REAL DEA Justice Dept (1-866-254-5970) notifying them that there is a person who is calling people personating a DEA Officer and looking for money from them..
