Extremely glad I investigated this and found the info! I am in the process of buying a vehicle for my stepdaugther for college. I am CURRENTLY in email conversations with this Nancy lady and THAT is exactly the email I was sent THEN the link for the Google Checkout. [***]!
Someone claiming to be DEA agent Travis Wilson called me from this number (several times). Always asking me to call back. That it is very important (and stressing again that they are ''DRUG ENFORCEMENT OFFICER 'SO-AND-SO, THAT'S D-E-A, DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCY'". (in a heavy-sounding hispanic accent, of course). DUH- Like I don't know what that is? And he's really an agent? BULLSH%t!
I've gotten this one before, if they get you on the phone they tell you there are warrants for your arrest, blah blah blah....agents will be at your door in less than 30 minutes....blah blah blah....unless you give them your credit card number so they can "pay your fines now so you can avoid jail time"...BLAH BLAH EFFING BLAH!
Still don't know how they ever got my number since I only get my Rx's from my local store and the only 'medicinal' things I've ever ordered on-line are from Drugstore.com!!!
So I called this guy back to have a little fun (since he was stupid enough to leave his voicemail pretending to be a federal agent- which is a felony! - I forwarded the mp3 recording to authorities along w/the phone number!) and I let Mr. Travis Wilson know that the next time he calls a cellphone number claiming to be a DEA Agent he better be damn sure he isn't calling a REAL federal agent, started citing a bunch of legal code, told him I'd pinged his location from the simchip in his phone,etc. etc. I kept him on the line for more than a minute at which point he went...."oh, uh, ummm, oh no......I....well.....uh-oh........." *click*
Hopefully, I'll never hear from them again! LOL!
Im shocked!!
I almost fell for this one.
Same as last post but the "Special Agent" claims to be highly decorated FBI/DEA Lead Agent John GIlbride.(who actually exists)
I feel blessed for my lawyer and law enforcement buddies. But they are laughing at me.. but its okay cause i didnt lose any money!
But my Attny said to pay him instead and that he also has a bridge to sell me.
I did buy online years ago and have not for years because they are all creeps and thieves.
They claimed that a purchase i made came from "offshore" and there was an arrest and my name was in some drug dealers customer list? and i was in some serious trouble.
they just wont go away.
I wish we could stop these people
I was given this number regarding the sale of a 2003 GMC Denali Pickup v-8 turbo that SHE want to sell for 2300 dollars, blue book is 18000 dollars so I knew something stunk, I plan on contacting authorities to see if we cant catch these people. This is the body of the email I got today, check out the link to google checkout, Ihave already informed Google of this and am awaiting response from them. You'd think that if these people were smart enough to put a scam like this together they would be forward thinking enough to spend 49 dollars at Walmart and get a new throw away phone:
If you want to buy the truck here is my post on Google Checkout
The transaction will be fully under Google’s surveillance, giving us both security and insurance since they offer the highest rate of safety and reliability during online transactions.
They are responsible for the security of this transaction and you have nothing to be worried about. Don`t worry this transaction is legit and all your funds are fully insured by their company.
You will have a period of 5 days for inspection as I told you in my first email. The inspection period start from the moment when the truck is delivered at your address.
I think 5 days is enough for you to make a decision if you keep the truck or not. If you won’t like my truck then you notify Google Checkout and send it back on my cost.
I was traying to buy the same 2003 GMC Denali Pickup, I almost made the transfer to somebody by western union, I have the invoice from google checkout, I have all the information about the person who is going to take the money, I have the tittle, Sandra Clarck scannered it and mailled to my e-mail. So, take care.
Seems like these people have some ATVs they'd like to sell. The ad was (His and Hers) Yamaha grizzly 350 IRS 4x4 for $2400. They have a very impressive "fake" google checkout site. Do not send anything via Western Union. The message I got was almost verbatim to the one listed above for the Pickup.
