I suggest everyone return this call.....repeatedly....harass this retard low life scum right back.....
reporting it only goes so far so.....have fun with it.....
I couldn't believe what I was hearing when I received this call on my voice mail. It showed on the caller ID as Lucasfilm. The person who call this time was James Redfield, not Mark Thomas as in the other cases reported here. I had heard about this type of scam before, so I figured I would check here first. One of the clues that something was a bit off is he asked for my middle name which I never use for any reason. I'm a bit surprised that since the DEA knows about this scam that they don't conduct a sting and nail these a-holes.
Another call from "Mark Thomas" of the DEA (district 97 - which DOES NOT EXIST). I've reported this freak (and his really bad answering machine to the DEA, itself). I suggest you do the same:
Report Extortion Scam: 1-877-792-2873
This is ALSO a standard home-line voicemail system. I encourage you to call this number, repeatedly, and press # when the voicemail message begins. Then enter any 4-digit number code you wish. After 3 wrong entries, you will be disconnected. But, hey, someone may hit pay-dirt. If you do, CHANGE THEIR OUTGOING MESSAGE, stating that it is a fraud!!!!
