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.
Just got a call from 202-239-0426..DC, USA from this same LT William Rice badge # CE19760. Says same thing with this diet pill confiscation from Dominican Rebublic. Funny...I've never order a diet pill!!! Told me to pay $950 today to make it go away other wise I would need to contact my attorney to got to court and have to go to jail for 12 months. Thanks for this website!!! Thought is was too fishy for people in DC to be working on the 5th of July!
I got the call yesterday. Lt. William Rice left a message claiming to be the DEA, stating they had evidence against me for purchasing prescriptions online. When I told him that they had the wrong person, he said I would have to appear in court with my attorney and gave me a court date. He kept saying if I was convicted, I would go to a Federal Prison for 6 mos. He told me I could "plead" no-lo over the phone and pay a fee of $950. He went on to give me specifics on where to send the money via Western Union to the Dominican Republic and I would have to provide him with the reference number. When I told him I was consulting an attorney, he got aggressive-- telling me if I was getting an attorney involved, he couldn't speak to me any further. When he called me back to find out if I had sent the money (after I had calmed down and googled the CORRECT DEA number in Washington)-- I told him I couldn't wait to see him in court-- with him in the defendants chair. TOTAL SCAM. Lesson learned: the DEA will never call your cell phone. If they want to find you, they will come knocking on your door instead. And cops can't negotiate over the phone.
Well, it seems good ol Lt. Rice is still at it! It's a damn shame. Again, while we wait for the real DEA and FDA (I've spoken to both and been assured they're working with the Dominican Republic authorities) LET'S AGGRAVATE THE TOTAL PISS OUT OF THESE SCUM BAGS!
Got the same call today! I called him back afew times and asked him how it felt to be harrassed, but he kept hanging up on me! Does make me nervous that he knew my home address though! What can we do to stop him?
