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 received a phone call from this guy while I was diving down the road
I said I COULD NOT TALK RIGHT NOW AND TO CALL ME BACK. He did and left a voice message to call him back right away. He has been a very busy man. I f you got one from him expect to get more of them from other people I have gotten 3 in the past 8 months. the last one that called I played along till the next day ans started making phone calls back to them and hassled them for making these kind of phone calls.DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING NO MATTER HOW SCARED THEY MAKE YOU IF IT WAS THE REAL DEA THEY WOULD BE AT YOUR DOOR STEP AND NOT WIRING MONEY OVERSEA TO ANOTHER COUNTRY
Yes, I got this call. I am glad I googled the number and found this site because it just reassured my initial instict that it was bogus. The DEA would never call and leave a message like that on a voice mail. I hope people do not fall for this scam.
jUST GOT A CALL BACK FROM him TODAY i LET HIM GO THROUGH WITH HIS STORY
AND THEn I told him to go on line and google his phone # and see what people are say about his scam and he said ("oh! really we will see about that") and hung up. DO YOU THINK HE WILL CALL BACK OR MAYBE HE IS ON THE WAY TO TAKE ME TO JAIL
I have received the very same phone call on January 17th, 2010 so obviously no one has caught him. Same story as above, confiscated drugs in Baltimore, Maryland, by my MOTHER who has alzheimers and knows nothing about anything any more. He has only called once but I will report if he calls again and THANK goodness for this site or I may have fallen for this!!
