I just fell for it.  Said he was Investigator "Paul Davis" from DEA 415-251-4625 x 227.
Told me he was working on an ongoing investigation and to call him.  Wish I did my homework first but since I did not, I have since reported this to DEA and now going to attempt to get a refund from AT&T for my long distance call.

The POS's just got almost $5000 from my mom before she told anyone of what was going on. When we finally got wind of it the scammers called back wanting even more money , needless to say I cussed the pos out. We have filed a police report and I have the SOBs choke on every single dime!

So, I guess it was wrong to give them my social security number and my pin number to my bank account?

I just got a call also from 415-251-4625 said his name was Agent James Casson & he was from the DEA & I had to return his call immediately on an ongoing investigation. No such Agent with the DEA. All a scam. Don't fall for this crap.

This scam is still occurring. The only difference is that the call came from an "agent" named "James Kasson", Narcotics Division 79, Badge A3317.  After yelling at me and threatening to arrest me for five minutes his phone disconnected.  I returned the call to the phone number he provided, 415-251-4625, and only got voicemail.  Within five minutes of disconnection  another "agent" named "Kevin Miller" (Badge 9971) called from phone number 305?712-5161.  He claimed I could clear every thing up by paying a $3000 fine by loading a Green Dot MoneyPak from a local grocery store and giving him the scratch off number on the back.  That's when I hung up.

I had a call from a Jerry Lewis LOL.
He said the same, medication, internet etc,,,
He asked for $4800, sent right away, from a western union !!!
or a check cashing dump.

wow, if one of these hits per day,,,,,
He's a rich Criminal.

Caller: 202 AREA CODE FRAUD SCAMS

I was called about an hour ago by the same man, David Wallace. He told me the very same thing. However, I have not purchased medications on line from anyone other than MEDCO in the last 4-5 years. He also told me I would be indicted because of the information they have on me. He told me I had a choice to either go to court or pay a small fine. He told me the fine was $600 and he gave a case number from 2011. I contacted my attorney and he told me that the agency does not work this way. No one would contact you and request money from you over the phone. The paralegal in my attonery's office called the number for me. They denied anyone calling me and they even said that they would never request money over the phone.

I can't tell you for certain that it was a scam, but I did not pay anything nor will I until I receive documentation, if there ever is any to support the charges he is claiming.

I was called by a man by the name of David Wallace. He identified himself as an agent with the DEA. I asked for a badge number. the number he gave me was 7739.

He said that I was being brought up on criminal charges for purchasing illegal medication over the internet. I was actually looking for a prescription mail order provider as my new insurance said I could save money that way. I registered with the pharmacy on line and was waiting for a Dr. Consultation which I never received. After suspecting this was not a legitimate company. I called my bank and made sure my account was blocked.

I then received a call from this David Wallace. He told me I was going to be arrested but said since I don't have a record he could get it reduced to a B violation whatever that is.

Suspecting this was a scam, I called the DEA DC office number. The young lady on the phone said that the case number was good and that the DEA does do this type of transaction. Based on what the DEA employee told me I paid the $4593. If this is a scam, I paid per the DEA's instruction.

Can someone verify this is a legitimate deal or have I been scammed? Again, I paid based on what I was told by the DC office . The phone number i called was (202) 305-8500

This is an extortion call.  I called this number over and over and couldn't get through.  The man that called said that he was a DEA agent and that my name has been brought up in a criminal investigation and that I needed to call them back promptly.  Upon not being able to get through I looked up the actual DEA Washington, D.C headquarters phone number and called them to possibly get better contact information or leave a message.  I spoke with a wonderful woman who explained the extortion plot and told me to call (877) 792-2873. It is an drug abuse and extortion hotline.  If these people are calling you don't engage them, simply call the number above and give all the information you can.
