Just received similar call from a person with a strong Filipino accent, claiming to be a DEA agent, leaving message that it is highly important I contact them immediately. If I get a few minutes today, I'm going to run this knucklehead around in circles.
Mom got a call from this number ad he scared the crap out of us! Fortunately for us and unfortunately for him he began to lose his cool when my mom calmly explained that she had no idea what he was talking about. The more she said that the more mad he got and the more unprofessional he sounded. Idiot. He didnt even get to the part where they asked for our payment we hung up instead. But when I called back they have a lady answer, yes these scammers seem legit but do not be fooled! The DEA would never call you before they were coming to arrest you, they would just come unannounced with lots of guns. Seriously. I called back and messed with him a little then I told him our conversation was being recorded and i had a real DEA agent on the other line listening in who would be very interested to know why he was impersonating a federal agent, and wouldnt you know it? He hung up real quick. AND he didnt say goodbye either. :)
Got another call from this number and I said that the person he was asking for wasn't here and he told me about how he was a DEA agent and I told him I already knew he was full of [***]….Unreal these guys
