I have been getting at least 1 call per month by an alleged DEA agent. The area codes vary, but the story is always the same. The fastest way I have found to relieve the stress of a hectic day is to have fun with them. I normally start laughing, and ask them "how many poor [***] actually fall victim to your scam?' When they start talking, I cut them off and demand to know how the hell they live with themselves? Some continue with the same blah blah, but usually they just hang up.
The latest was a call from Colorado, no accent at all. Last month is was from somewhere in Washington state, no accent. I can almost predict when they will be calling, as I get a phone call a day or two before from some unknown person trying to sell me rx. I regret the day 7 years ago when I ordered tramadol from an online pharmacy. On the positive side, I get to have fun with a scammer on a monthly basis!
Good luck to all and may God bless!
Lets put this to rest. Its a scam pure and simple. People, please disregard and ignore anyone calling and representing themselves as a dea (or any other type of federal or law enforcement agent).
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR. This is completely fake and NOTHING will happen to you or your family, These jerks have absolutely no power over you whatsoever unless you let them by falling for their nonsense.
If you have the gumption, try and keep them on the line as long as possible. Make-up any information they are requesting from you on the spot. Keep them talking, pretend you are scared and maybe, you will be able to obtain mailing addresses, real phone or fax numbers, or any other information you can use to assist the REAL authorities in apprehending these fools.
If you're not in the mood for any of their games, remind them that impersonating a federal officer or agent is a felony and watch how quickly they will disappear! Rest easy and think to yourself that this type of call is utter BS. Take control and tell these guys where to go!
It is very important to file an FCC complaint anytime you receive calls like this. If enough complaints are registered, eventually these calls may stop.
Below is a list of other (or perhaps the same) DEA scammers. Read through and cross-post these numbers anywhere or anytime these jerks call with a new number.
Now he is claiming to be a District Attorney at 415-852-9456....everyone call this number and leave him nasty messages!!!! He has taken to calling the elderly and scaring them.
