just heard from same gent, from 831-331-4979, santa cruz ca. thanks to you folks, I saved myself (a wee bit) of trouble and shock. very aggressive with threats, put on hold, discussion of judges, warrants, confinement, homeland security, my public persona (about which I dickered). Searched online while on phone and asked if I could confirm his identity by calling back DEA offices and he responded with righteous indignation over my doubts. I asked why, as head of (and then I read "his" DEA profile), he'd personally be phoning me. That's probably what prompted the threat of abetting smuggling came in
Guy with an accent says he's with the DEA, name Thomas Harrigan. Warrant for my arrest for being associated with some online pharmacy. I made him repeat and spell his name for over 10 minutes which he glady continued to do! I hung up just short of calling him a tool!!\
SCAM call!!
As Ev said, the DEA agent thing is scam that's been going on for ages. Considering how bad they are at it, it's hard to imagine anyone being suckered in, but it doesn't hurt to keep them on the phone as long as possible.
DEA agent Thomas Harrigan has me under surveillance and the investigation is looking at imprisonment.
He wants me to call him back at an upscale LA suburban area code. I guess the DEA's regional office at Chicago, within whose parameters I live, needs an officer from Irvine, California to handle my case?
The dummy couldn't even read his script correctly the first time, and had to start over.
I guess he's a bottom-feeder who bought my $300 debt (with fees and interest it's grown to $21,904). Good luck in collecting, Tommy H. You'll have to get in line.
