I got a phone call/voice message from someone claiming to be DEA agent Brian Gonzalez, & he said he was conducting an investigation & urgently needed to speak w/ me. It was from a 301 number though, but I think it's all a hoax. It wasn't professional at all. I also looked up the number to find several others had been told the same thing & were asked for money to cover fines & court costs. Don't send these people any money! You would think they would come up w/different agent names.
got the same call said his name was Jerome Johnson I have no dealings with the DEA or anything in relation to them. Said he was calling about an investigation with drugs being smuggled in by me. Truth is I am totally disabled so I cannot fly or even drive, so I knew he was a scam artist I didn't even bother to call back or even let him know that I received his message
I also received a voice message on May 15 from someone claiming to be DEA agent Brian Gonzalez and the voice message stated ''my name came up in an investigation that the department was conducting, and that it was urgent that I return his call." Voice message was partially garbled and caller sounded unprofessional.
I returned call several times to find out what this was all about and each time call went directly into a voicemail message. No other contact.
I also got the same call on May 26. Garbled message. The number he left was to a Magic Jack phone number that had been disconnected. When I called the number he had called from, it went to a very unprofessional voicemail system. The number he used was 301-534-8745. FYI There is a known scam of people calling, posing as DEA agents. The DEA hotline to report this is 877-792-2873.
