Many threats and people posing as federal agents threatening to arrest me.

Who do we alert that cares?? May I ask who you reported this to? The IRS told me to report it to the FTC. I have filed a complaint with the FTC- but nobody else has seemed to have any help or even cares about this- I feel so angered at taking advantage of people and our government does not protect its people form this- they are posing as federal agents- threatening to take my home- just these threats to an elderly person would cause them to empty their bank account to these thieves. Sad.

I received call today for the exact same thing & same phone number 786-397-6285!  These are the last of several calls that I have received over the past couple of years!!!  Something should be done about these people!!!

I got a call today at 2:50pm EST, but I was driving and my phone was in my pocket.  Listened to the 3 second vm... Caller just hung up...

I received this call today 03/11/2014 10:30AM. It scared me to death.... Special Agent William Wright Badge # CE19760. Ph # is 786-397-6285 ext 118. Demanded $950.00 today to stop the arrest warrent being issued today. Told me to send it to Officer Randy Olivo in the Fed Courts Bldg 1600 Ft Washington Santo Domingo. He said I ordered Phentermine from another country, I had never received medication from out of the country. He said he had all my records and proof. And ifI pay the fine it would all go away if not I would be arrested and held in Dade County Jail for 15 to 30 days and go in front of a Federal Judge.
Scared me so bad I almost sent the money.
Thanks to this website I will not be sending anything.

I received a telephone call on Friday, December 20, 2013 stating I would be arrested for receiving medicine from overseas. Special Agent from the Drug Enforcement Agency William Wright would arrest me if I didn't send $1000.00 to Ismierin Santos by money order to Washington, DC. I spoke to a man stating his name is Special Agent William Wright with USDEA  and he gave the number 202 241 5693. PLEASE ADVISE, THIS IS A SCAM.

The phone number 202.241.5691 belongs to MagicJack.  I filed an abuse report and this is the e-mail that I received in reply:

Anyone interested in pursuing legal action against the perpetrator can send a subpoena using the information above.  Since MagicJack costs money, presumably they can provide investigators with the perpetrator's credit card number which then can be traced to the credit card company and then to the perpetrator.  I hope that someone prosecutes this person.

I called Steve and he asks that complaints be sent to the parent company help desk, which is noc@ymaxcorp.com and that local authorities be notified.

This looks like the administrator of the legitimate service talk4free.com, which the scammer is no doubt using.

I just received a call as of today November 26, 2013.  The phone went to voice mail and says I've reached the office of the DEA, all agents are busy please leave a message.  I left a message asking him to be ashamed of what he is doing.

ALERT - EXTORTION SCAM - ALERT
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.

Received the same telephone call today on 11/6/2013 from William Wright with the DEA in Washington, D.C. stating that I would be officially arrested and a warrant served by this afternoon regarding a purchase of prescription drugs over the inter-net.  He was quite belligerent and told me I needed to go to the police station, would be immediately put into custody and kept until the matter was cleared up ; however, I did have the option of the whole thing being dropped if I went to MoneyGram and send cash ($1950) directly to Tony Gomez Maldonado at 1600 Fort Washington, Santo Domingo and all charges would be dropped.  When I asked for his Badge # he gave me CE19760.  He kept getting disconnected when I wanted to pursue some questions with him.   SCAM SCAM SCAM - something needs to be done about this individual because he is really attempting to use scare tactics in order to obtain money - very discerning not knowing whether or not he was legitimate or not.  Hopefully he has not gotten away with much money.

I would like to know how these people are getting away with this. This is the 2nd agent to contact me, first one was from Texas. Isn't posing as a federal agent a crime?????

This guy William Wright called me too. I second guessed myself thinking it was a set up by someone who had stolen my identity. Thank you for posting this. What a scam.

I phoned the jack*** back and I told him that I wanted to meet with him in person (I knew he was a scam artist); lo and behold, he couldn't meet with me, what a surprise and then I really started to mess with him. I told him that we had such a delightful conversation that I was in law enforcement and I had a long enough time to trace his call and I would see him in jail.

I feel bad for the people who were duped by this no-count thief, which is what I called him and a few other names that I won't mention.

I reported his operation to the DEA.

I had this happen to me and I was scared as well.  I contacted the DEA directly and they told me they were aware of it and not to send them money. I contacted the FBI and they referred me to the Federal Trade Commission where I filed a complaint.  We need to get the word out to everyone.

they called and scared me to death sounding very convincing!  today at 3:30  10-15-2013 and i am supposed to be picked up by 4:30 today thank you for posting this...what a world>>>>SCAM!

I received the exact call all of you did, informing me I was going to be arrested on Federal charges for the same reason's stated above. I informed him I was a criminal defense attorney, and that's all it took! He hung up!
I encourage everyone to contact the FTC, and do your diligent research before EVER sending money!

OMG this just happened to me too. When I called them back and told them I had called my local police department and I wouldn't be sending them $1850.00 they told me they would forward the warrant and I would be in custody by 3 this afternoon.

still going on... got a call this morning... same story as everyone else...

Thanks for the tip!  I will call....Report Extortion Scam 1-877-792-2873.  These scumbags need to be caught!
