I got a phone call earlier today from a 'Special Agent' Mike Davis with the DEA wanting to ask me a few questions related to an on-going criminal investigation. First I don't think any DEA agents speak with an obvious Middle Eastern/Indian accent; Secondly, I did have a problem in 2004 with prescription painkillers that I ordered over the Internet so I'm sure that is how they got my number. So I called them & asked for Special Agent Davis-before he could get a word out I told him that if he or any of his dope peddling buddies called me again I would report the entire incident to the head of my town's vice/narcotics unit...he tried to interject but I told him to shut up that I wasn't finished with him...he hung up on me so I went ahead & called my buddy in narcotics & he said that it was definitely a scam preying on people who had ordered meds using on-line pharmacies (he is aware of my past so I felt comfortable talking about it)...so here-I am reporting it
Just got the call on my voice mail this afternoon. Someone who sounded like a man said they were Specail Agent Janet Brown with the DEA an that I needed to call them regarding an ongoing investigation.
Obvious scam, using scare tactics. Not calling "Janet" back.
I received a voicemail yesterday from 415-251-7129 with a person saying they were "DEA Agent Janet Brown" and telling me that they needed me to call DEA Headquarters right away regarding a criminal investigation. First of all, "Janet" sounded like a man, and she/she had a hard time pronouncing Administration. It was all extremely fishy so I did my research and landed on this page.
This is an aweful scam!! They will leave messages for you to call them back immediately due to an ongoing criminal drug investigation. Janet Brown left messages and finally talked to Frank Thomas to tell him he had the wrong person. He then proceeded to tell me where I lived and my Husbands name. Both of which were correct. I was so freaked out!! He told me to go to a private area and to tell no one of this phone call or I would be taken straight to jail. And that I was going to federal prison for three years. WWhen I told him I was not going to talk to him anymore and I was going to get a lawyer he said if I hang up an officer would be dispatched immediately to arrest me! I was scared out of mu mund. This went on for about 20 minutes until something told me to google the number. There it was...SCAM!!!! I was releaved and upset all at the same time that someone could be so horrible. I whispered to my coworker that had come in and told them scam...the person on the line said "what did you say?" I then hung up. He has not called back.
PLEASE do not fall for this!!!..by the end of the conversation he was asking me for fine money to clear my name. Praise the Lord I found this page before I did!!
Wow - Janice Brown just called me, and I called her back and left a message with the gentleman who answered. She should be calling soon, and I'm glad I read this so I can relax and have some fun.
I received a message today from a man identifying himself as Officer Special Agent Frank Thomas with the DEA. In the message he said that he wanted to ask me some questions in regards to an open and ongoing criminal investigation. The caller ID said Novato, and matched the telephone # he told me to call him at 415-251-7129.
There were no threats, but it bothered me a lot!
