just got the same Sgt. Michael Turner, DEA, and telling me I had committed a felony, and it had to be taken care of today, or I needed to go to New York to take care of this. I told him I couldn't afford to go to New York, I was disabled , then he asked can you walk, I said with a walker, then he wanted me to send a "green dot money card" I told him couldn't do that either, I told him to sent an agent over and he could take me to jail. I needed a vacation.
IT IS A SAM !! DO NOT FALL FOR IT EVEN IF THEY THREATEN YOU!! THE PHONE THEY USED ON ME WAS 201-448-3194. I was really scared until i called my lawyer.
Received a message from a "sgt mike turner" saying I had illegally bought scripts overseas and they had warrant to search my house. Since I had never done that, knew it was a scam. Still googled to see how many people they were calling. Those people need to rot in he!!
DEA Warns Public of Extortion Scam by
DEA Special Agent Impersonators
The Drug Enforcement Administration is warning the public about criminals posing as DEA special agents or other law enforcement personnel as part of an international extortion scheme.
The criminals call the victims (who in most cases previously purchased drugs over the lnternet or by telephone) and identify themselves as DEA agents or law enforcement officials from other agencies. The impersonators inform their victims that purchasing drugs over the lnternet or by telephone is illegal, and that enforcement action will be taken against them unless they pay a fine. In most cases, the impersonators instruct their victims to pay the "fine" via wire transfer to a designated location, usually overseas. If victims refuse to send money, the impersonators often threaten to arrest them or search their property. Some victims who purchased their drugs using a credit card also reported fraudulent use of their credit cards.
Impersonating a federal agent is a violation of federal law. The public should be aware that no DEA agent will ever contact members of the public by telephone to demand money or any other form of payment.
The DEA reminds the public to use caution when purchasing controlled substance pharmaceuticals by telephone or through the Internet. It is illegal to purchase controlled substance pharmaceuticals online or by telephone unless very stringent requirements are met. And, all pharmacies that dispense controlled substance pharmaceuticals by means of the lnternet must be registered with DEA. By ordering any pharmaceutical medications online or by telephone from unknown entities, members of the public risk receiving unsafe, counterfeit, and/or ineffective drugs from criminals who operate outside the law. In addition, personal and financial information could be compromised.
Anyone receiving a telephone call from a person purporting to be a DEA special agent or other law enforcement official seeking money should refuse the demand and report the threat.
Mike Turner (actually a Perry Mason character) this guy left me a voicemail message, DEA BADGE 97.
He sounds good, but what an idiot. DEA agents don't call you! Haaaaaaa! These scams are on the internet...but they should be on the news! Maybe he could audition for Law and Order!
