A Liet. Lynn Taylor called me on my cell phone- said I ordered diet pills 8-9 years ago and told me my address (where I lived back then) I denied it all- she said she could get me a "second chance" and I would only have to pay $3200.00 within 1 hour- and she had people watching me!! I believed her until she told me all this about the money- she was very bold- very scary- very authoritative!!! I told her I'd have to :"look her up" and see what was going on- then I hung up on her. I called the number back that she called from- it was an answering machine message in her voice, with "liet. Lynn Taylor" in the bronx, NY. the "DEA" agency!!! What a SCAM!!! I called the police and they said it was a scam!!!
I just got the same kind of call but it was from a man who said he was Special Agent something Martinez I couldn't understand his first name. Same scam as the rest of you reported...just thought you should be aware that it wasn't an Agent Lynn everyone else seems to have gotten.
I got a call today from special agent Martinez same story they asked for my daughter and they were going to issue a warrant for for her if we did not pay $4500.00 right away,I told them that I was going to call my local DEA office and asked them about and they hung up on my husband.
SCAM! This lady is very convincing! Called me today. Lt. Lynn Taylor. Said she was DEA Said they had intercepted a package 5 years ago. She recited my address. Said I was up on 2 felony charges for buying medicine online and not having a Dr's prescription. I told her I have a prescription and she said that because I Purchased online from a pharmacy that was allegedly in the Dominican Republic, I was being charged. Extremely Convincing. She said a search warrant had been issued for my residence, and that I was going to be under arrest when the agents got there. She said that i could lose my job, etc. She said I was facing 5-7 years behind bars. She said I need to get a defense lawyer with a specialty in International law. After 5-10 minutes I asked what I could do. she said that she could contact Customs in the Dominican Republic while I was on hold. She came back and stated that they would settle for a $7K fine, but she could get it down to $5K. Thats when the red flags started popping up. She then started negotiating when I told her I didn't have that much money. Then she got down to a payment plan w/ $500 due now. She told me I had to pay cash or debit. I believe she was going to try and get it through Western Union or something. She wanted my to be on the phone and get in my car. She said If I didn't hurry the agents were going to have already arrived at my house and I needed to start this payment plan before she could terminate the order. I hung up and called her right back. Some guy answered the phone "DEA, this is "Some name" speaking". He transfered me to her and again she said if I dont pay the fine to the Dominican Republic, I would be under arrest. I told her NO, and she said " Well than we have no way of terminating the warrants and be at home when the agents arrive" She is very convincing, and had my address and other info. Hang up when she calls!
