I got the same call on 11/23/10 from "Special Agent William Rice". He was very threatening on the phone and caught me off guard. Told me i had 2 warrants for my arrest and that i would be taken into federal custody until my hearing on 12/8/10. I should get a lawyer or pay a fine to have this "taken care of" I was in a panic and didn't even think to call anyone to see if this was real. This jerk even told me the name of the judge who signed off on my court date (Peter Franco). Like a nut i got 4500.00 from the bank and had it sent to Edison Joseph, which in turn lead to another phone call from "Lt william Givens" about how "Rice is nothing but trouble and he has to document the incident,blah blah blah. This jerk proceeded to tell me that the 2nd warrant would need to be dealt with to the tune of 3500.00 to be sent to Franklin Hernandez and someone named Guzman. While all this nonsense went on, an "Eric Morales" from internal affairs kept calling me for weeks telling me that they were doing an evestigation on this Givens character. This guy is relentless, and also goes by the name Frank Diaz from Homeland Security. By the time all this was over they managed to extort 11,000.00 outta me!! My father who is a former cop called the local DEA office and we spoke to a real DEA agent. I have lost just about all of my money to these loosers and they still call posing as US Customs agents, Homeland Security, ect. Last week, Morales called and started to threaten me when i said that he is a real [***]. I always thought i was smart to stuff like this coming from a family of cops, but the scare tactic and the keywords tossed me. I reported the entire situation and saved my voice mails on my cell phone to the real DEA and am now working with them by telling my story. As for my financial situation, i am on disability but will now have to return to work so i do not lose everything that i have worked so hard for. Take it from me; if the DEA wants you, the won't call you to let you know, they just show up. Report these jerks for what they are to the real DEA and maybe one of them may actually be caught.
I got a call from the same guy and he sounded fishy. I told him I thought it was a scam and he said for me to have my lawyer call him. He sais his name was Lt. William Rice, DEA in Baltimore, Maryland. Phone number 410-929-8357. He gave me his badge number 19709.
He said they had drugs,Phentermine,(diet pill) that was confiscated and was sent to me from overseas. He insisted that this was for real and that I needed to appear in court or have the case transfered to my home town. The fine to get out of the cdourt expenses etc.--pay it and it will go away- was $750.00. Otherwise I would get 3-6 months probation or 12 months in county jail.I called the FBI agent on duty and am awating his return call.
I just got the same phone call tis morning. I agree that this soumds like a scam. Have you heard anything from the FBI agent? Also, he said my fine was S1500.00
OMG, that is so bizarre. I got the same phone call from LT. William Rice from the DEA in Baltimore, Maryland. He also gave me his badge number of 19760. He said they confinscated phentermine from overseas and that I would have to pay $ 950.00 to make it go away or they would pick me up and take me down to Miami, Fl. and then sent to Dominion Republic where I would be charged. I contacted the DEA in Austin (my hometown) who in turn called the actual DEA in Maryland. The "real" DEA called me back and was able to tell me this guys phone number and where he wanted the money sent to. He said they have been trying to catch this guy. Don't send him anything. Call the DEA in Maryland and report this...410-244-3574...Joe Rosati is his name.
