My wife received a call from this number 210-374-8093 claiming to be DEA. Beware it is a scam and contact your local police. This idiot needs to be caught.
I got a call today about noon on my voice mail, thick accent, Det. Robert Foley division 38, badge #N33419 and my case # 014215010. He said he worked with the DEA and he was calling to tell me that I am on a list of individuals who are being investigated for purchasing illegal medications online. He was very mean and aggressive. He told me that I am defendant #86 and they have all my information that shows that I ordered pain medication from the DR but I never received it because it was conficated and found to contain 40% cocaine. That means I am involved in illegal drug trafficing and I will be flown to SF to appear in front of a judge Snyder tomorrow morning then be extridited to the DR for sentencing. But since I was such a good person with no prior arrests I had three other options. He would pause and talk on what sounded like a police radio giving orders regarding my case, "stand by." OK. I could go into the Defendant release program and go on house arrest for two years, or pay a fine and report any drug co.s that try to solicit my business. If I didnt want to pay the fine then I could get a federal lawyer....plead not guilty. I told him I would pay the fine and then everything would be dropped. What was the fine. $2,000.00. I said I couldnt get that kind of money together today so he dropped it to $1,000.00 and a payment plan of $100 monthly for 20 months. "Now dont try to runaway cuz people have tried this and we will get you." He also said my phones are being tapped and there are officers nearby ready to search my house and take me away. He then told me that I needed to go to Rite Aid (he had the location and knew how long it would take me to get there) and wire thru Western Union the $1,000. He said he would call me every 20 minutes to see how I was doing. I said ok and hung up. The first thing I did was to call the local police and they knew all about this scam. Then I went online and found numbers to call and report the event. The number he gave me was 209-487-0344 DEA contact. I was to send the money to Luis Rodriguez, Punta-Cana, Dominican Republic. That doesnt sound like a district atty address to me. I got a call from him and I told him that I had called the extortion hotline for the DEA and I now knew this was a phone scam and the phone went dead. Evil scum of the earth...this is what free enterprise has delivered to our doorstep from the bowels of hell.
I got a voicemail from a hispanic male saying "Donna M******, I am Special Agent Robert Foley with the Drug Enforcement Agency, and I need you to contact me back as soon as possible regarding an open and ongoing investigation. It is urgent that you call me back as soon as possible. Again, this is Special Agent Robert Foley with the DEA.". The return number was 1-209-487-0344. The message was left for me on 8-18-11 at 3:05pm EDT. I did call and leave a brief message asking him to call me back today, since I didn't hear the message until today, but decided to look online for the area code (it's a California area code), and thought that was weird, since California is 2000+ miles away (I'm on the East Coast). Now I see this same number is part of this scam. So when/if this guy calls back, I'll try to keep him on the phone for as long as possible, then tell him his location has just been tracked, and say "You're Busted!". Maybe that will scare him off.
I received a call from (562)606-1199. The person stated he was Thomas Harrigan, DEA, badge #849361. He told me he had a warrant for my arrest for purchasing prescription drugs online in 2007. He said there were field officers placed within 5 minutes of my home & they were going to come & arrest me if I did not agree to settle the matter over the phone. He put me on hold, came back & stated Judge O'Neil had agreed to dismiss all charges if I paid a fine of $2500. Initially, the call scared me as it came in at 7am & woke me up. But the more he spoke, the more outlandish it sounded. Someone should do something about these idiots and these scams.
Same guy but different phone number. "Officer Thomas Harrigan" with the DEA is still at it. I got a message from these losers with the same bull about buying drugs from online pharmacies. Called the number back and got another loser pretending to be with the DEA and just told him I didn't appreciate SCAMS and they need to stop calling. This time the number is (559)838-0300.
