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.
Yes I got the same call from ole Billy Rice Monday in work. As soon as I told him I was calling my lawyer he hung up.
This same type of thing happened to me a few years ago. I received a call from some guy claiming to be from Costs Rica and wanted me to go there to court in 15 days. I said are you for real. Then he told me if I paid a fine they would excuse me because it was a first time. First time for what? That is when I caught on it was a SCAM. I told him nice try and hung up.
I also got the phone call from this idiot. He wanted 3,700.00 for all charges to be dropped. Why can't they catch this idiot ?? He sounds black and says his name is Willaim Rice. This all happened this week. Crazy.....!!!!!
The new number is 781-479-8988, new name is Sargent Christopher De Phorio. I got the call today, scary, threatening, but ended up saying that it would all go away if I just sent money. He was very good.
