He declined so im pressing federal scamming extortion charges!!!!
In the past two days I have been called by this # 856-368-9155 as well as # 202-241-5093. in both cases this man used the names DEA agent John Garcia, officer scadwsy and Manuel Costello. He poses as a DEA agent . Tells you you have ordered various meds online. Some you may have or may never have ordered. He threatens to have you arrested, ruin yor life, search your home and have you extridited to places like the Dominican republic or homdurus. He says he can let you off with a
"fine" of 2500$ that you have to wire via western union. I called the real DEA and reported him. I believe his real name is John Santiago from the Dominican republic. It's a extortion SCAM!!! Please if he calls you report him to your local DEA office or the federal FDA office at 800-521-5783.
My daughter has also just got the threatening calls. I'm so glad to find out that this is a scam. The things he threatened her with was to also have her arrested, he said they would be at our house within 2 hours and that he will not allow her to get her medications ever again. This is scary becasue she really does have meds that she has to take and really frightened her. Thanks again for posting!
