Absolutely, I agree. THese people are SCUM. This same guy Thomas Herrigan has called me and my wife's phone number. I have never bought prescriptions online. However, they are sophisticated, I will give them that. They have a fake website up they tell you to go to and put in the court docket number and you see your name and info. VERY SCARY the information they get their hands on.
I told "Thomas"...it is a federal felony to impersonate a federal DEA agent and that I had his fake name and telephone number used and I was turning him in. Ofcourse he got mad saying "excuse me, excuse me...blah blah blah. He said there are agents 15 minutes away from my house ready to arrest me. I said bring it on. If they show up, I had a loaded double barrell that I would anwser my door with.
These are dominican republic people with the same accents working out of Bronx, NY, I believe. I really wish the real FEDS would do something about this. They should be able to track down who owns the phone account of the numbers they call from.
This person just called saying he was Special Agent Greg Martinez *Badge Number 349361* asking to speak to someone at this number. When I stated I was going to verify his badge number he hung up in my face. Really strong accent. Needless to say, he is full of crap and I never got what he was trying to call for...
They called again and after looking into this whole DEA Martinez deal I found that its a scam trying to tell you that you have warrants and they will arrest you if you dont money gram them 5,000.00. Thomas Herriken was the next DEA name they gave. Once googled I found he's an ATF agent not DEA. They should do research. When I told this lovely young man he was a joke and this was a horrible attempt at a scam he then got irrate with me and told me I make it hard for "the black man" and I'm the reason "we rob people". He ended it with calling me "Ratchet". HAH. My coworkers and I got quite a laugh.
I just had a weird feeling after he was so rude and hung up on me when I said who he was asking for wasnt here. So I googled the number and sure enough.. scam. He also had a very thick accent and said he was from the DEA
