I just got a call from this number...man stated his name was Det. Matt Peterson with the DEA dept. Told me he was going regarding an ongoing investigation and needed to call him back immediately. I called back and got an generic answering service recording....I called my husband who is a police officer, and he called the number...A man answered, but when my husband asked him who he was and asked if he was an agent with DEA....and the man denied being an agent, and hung up...I called our local DEA office and spoke with a real agent...gave him the info...name, number, etc...the agent looked up the mans name and said he WAS not an agent...The agent told me the only thing I can do right now is if the man calls back, get as much information from him that I can get, then call the real agency back. GOOD GRIEF!!
new # is 949-800-7449. Det. Mark Taylor. DEA detective. Ha these guys actually are cheap entertainment. Not very convincing, they said they had a search warrant for my mother in law as well as arrest warrant. Wow, i asked first if they would come by and search the house, cause I lost my wallet a few days ago. Then instructed them that they would have to serve the warrant at the memorial cemetery cause their hopeful fraud victim had passed several years ago. Hope these punks get punked soon.

Same story .. called and said that I had to give $2500.00 to Fed EX man who would be delivering "Waiver" papers to stop Federal arrest for a drug order for Estradiol in 2003 that I do not even remember ordering. (
(Estradiol is natural estrogen, female hormone.) I had to agree immediately to pay the "fine" (later changed to repayment for government charges spent in investigating me. He gave me five minutes in which to promise to pay. (In "green.moneypak".)
I received a call from a 360 area code claiming to be "Matthew Peterson from the IRS" telling me that I owe $6,000. He threatened that if I don't pay immediately that he was going to issue a warrant for my arrest. When I asked to speak to his immediate Supervisor/Manager he said he was the Supervisor. has anyone else experienced this?
