This [***] just called me saying i was facing federal charges. loser, hang up! he is an illiertate illegal alien who now has my phone number and address what do i now?
I man who sounded slightly drunk said he was with the DEA and I was going to prison for 3-7 years for buying prescription meds and demanded I go to Western Union and send him $2750 to resolve the matter.
Lets put this to rest. Its a scam pure and simple. People, please disregard and ignore anyone calling and representing themselves as a dea (or any other type of federal or law enforcement agent).
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR. This is completely fake and NOTHING will happen to you or your family, These jerks have absolutely no power over you whatsoever unless you let them by falling for their nonsense.
If you have the gumption, try and keep them on the line as long as possible. Make-up any information they are requesting from you on the spot. Keep them talking, pretend you are scared and maybe, you will be able to obtain mailing addresses, real phone or fax numbers, or any other information you can use to assist the REAL authorities in apprehending these fools.
If you're not in the mood for any of their games, remind them that impersonating a federal officer or agent is a felony and watch how quickly they will disappear! Rest easy and think to yourself that this type of call is utter BS. Take control and tell these guys where to go!
It is very important to file an FCC complaint anytime you receive calls like this. If enough complaints are registered, eventually these calls may stop.
Below is a list of other (or perhaps the same) DEA scammers. Read through and cross-post these numbers anywhere or anytime these jerks call with a new number.
This number keeps calling my fax line. At least 3 times a day. There is never a fax tho. Usually they call the fax line, and I see the caller ID with this number, and then they immediately call the fax line again but the caller ID says PRIVATE CALLER.
It doesn't do any good to report these idiots. Just be aware of the phone number calling you before you answer. If you don't recognise the caller, let your answering machine do its job. If they don't leave a message, then they are likely a bogus pain in the butt idiot caller.
