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 the same phone call today and called the US Drug Enforcment in Baltimore and they said it is a scam. I have the same phone number in my cell. I called the guy back and told him I knew he was a scam and told him that if he called my cell again, he might be going to Miami. I never ordered anything 3 years ago and how the hell did he get my cell. I have emailed everyone I know and gave the number to the US Drug Enforcement office.
Do what I did, tell him to give you the address in Baltimore and what date should you and your attorney be there. He said he would call me back with that information and never did. Must not need that money that bad. Merry Xmas to HIM.
haha
I received this exact call today with the caller stating that he was from the DEA in Baltimore,MD and that there was a package which was confiscated by the DEA because it contained illegal drugs sent from the Dominican Republic to be delivered to my address. I told "Lt. William T. Rice" I thought it was all a bunch of B.S. because no one here had ordered anything of the kind. He said, "Well, I guess we will have to take this matter up in court. A representative from the DEA will contact the local law enforcement in your area regarding this matter.". I replied, "Go ahead!", and hung up. The call never got to the point where "Lt. Rice" "offered" (LOL) to settle this matter for any sum of money. I promptly called the local police department to report it because I was quite frightened. The police had already been here some time ago regarding a report I had made regarding endless harassing phone calls I was receiving from "U.S Pharmacy"... and too many other "pharmacies" to list here. I am relieved to see others have received this call as well because for a moment there I expected the DEA police to bash down my door. What will these phone scam creeps think up next? This is absolutely unacceptable. Instilling fear in people and impersonating a DEA officer is illegal. I hope that whomever is responsible for this is apprehended and arrested to the full extent of the law. From the dates of the reports of this number on this page, and other pages as well, I gather that this fraud has been going on for some time and I assume by this fact that these monsters have been successful in profiting from this scam.
