Thank you so much, other posters, for this info. This message was so confounding and scary! I tried to return the call but kept getting a fast-busy or a weird single-tone response. Now I know I don't have to!

Claimed to be with the Drug Enforcement Agency, said his name is David Stone. He sounded like English was not his first language. I've been harassed by bogus callers claiming to be with the DEA in the past and said, "You don't work for the DEA, but I do for the DEA and have never heard of you." He said, "Really?" Then I told him to stop harassing us with his stupid calls. That irritated him and became comically upset (bad acting, but is part of his script, I am certain), so I hung up on him.

My understanding is that these types of "DEA" callers (often the alias used is "Nick Delgado", from the calls that I have received) call with scary claims that you are being investigated for some fake drug charge and are in danger of criminal arrest, but that this agent will do you a favor and make the fake charge "disappear" if you pay him money for his efforts to "help you." That's the goal of these kinds of calls, to separate you from your money. Beware.

This phone number is part of the DEA scam!
