This happened to me over a year ago.   I am so disappointed that this continues to happen.   This SOB Rice/whatever his name is called me and it was during the time my mother was going through chemo.   I didn't have the money to pay them and my poor mother, weakened from the chemo, went to the bank with me to get the 3500 they asked for.   She was so upset and scared I would be arrested.  I am so thankful I called a friend in law enforcement and he called them.  He knew it was a scam immediately as he knew the real DEA doesn't have lieutenants.  

My mother has since passed and when I think about the distress they caused to her it makes me so angry.   Please, to all victims, let's not rest until we aggravate enough government agencies that they find a way to stop these horrible men.  Also we have to keep calling Magic Jack, Western Union, Chase and MAKE THEM DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE CRIMINALS.   They are evidently making a good living off this scam.  

PLEASE JOIN ME IN CALLING THESE NUMBERS AND KEEPING THESE SOBs SO BUSY WITH OUR CALLS THAT THEY CANNOT VICTIMIZE OTHERS!    IT IS MY MISSION IN LIFE TO STALK THEM UNMERCIFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    JOIN ME PLEASE!   CAN U IMAGINE IF EVERYBODY THEY HAVE VICTIMIZED BANDED TOGETHER AND CALLED THEM EVERY DAY???????????????       LET'S DO IT!     HELP ME TO GIVE THEM  BACK A LITTLE MISERY!   THAT'S ABOUT ALL WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW!

Major scam. Do not answer.

this number called me several times.

Calling the number and getting an answering machine is lame. No one is reporting a foreign accent so they must be in-country. Any DA worth his salt should be able to find out who they are and where they're located. And nail 'em.

You're welcome and am sorry you were worried for 8 days. There's a name and phone number at the top of that DEA page if you want bring this 800notes page to the DEA's attention.

I received a call on 12/5/10 asking if I was interested in ordering a medication.  I questioned the guy just who made this medication and he rattled off some company he said was located in New Jersey.  I then asked if this was legal and of course he said yes.  He then said I would have to have a money order to pay for it.  I knew then something was wrong but played the game, knowing I was not going to get any money order.  Today I got a call from Officer Wallace stating he was from the DEA.  He said I had committed a felony by ordering these meds and that I could serve 3-5 yrs in a federal prison, pay fines and would need a federal attorney.  Long story short, he wanted me to wire $2,500 to a Judge clerk Betanches to pay a fine so I wouldn't go to prison.  He also said I would receive court documents I would have to sign and send back.  The kicker was, he told me not to inform any third parties, not even my husband.  I told him I could talk to our local police and he said not to as this was a federal case.  I eventually hung up on him.  (He called back 4 times but I never answered)  My husband and I both went to the DA and the local police.  They called the number on my cell phone and got an answering machine.  I've not gotten another call from them since.  All I can say is if you want meds, get them at Walmart!!!  I can't believe people do this kinda thing!

You know what This should be on the National News!!  That makes me mad.  The DEA is so worried about the poor people who paid out money so why dont they say something on TV. I just thought of that! I am disabled and was psycologically messed up for 8 days thinking they werer taking me away to some prison. Thanks for posting the DEA Link. I was just going to look it up.

It is a scam. I had the same type of call on the 1st of December from a William RIce in Washington D.C.  They sould real that is for sure. I was scared to death for 8 days until yesterday when I went on line to see what the laws were and ran into the DEA Scam Warning.  Unfortunately some poor people were so scared they paid out money. I didnt send money but I didnt have any to send anyway. lol  Im trying to get over this but it took 8 days to get worked up over it so its going to take a little bit to settle back down. I notified the real DEA office and called our local media and posted it on Facebook.

THIS IS A SCAM. Read the DEA's warning here http://www.justice.gov/dea/pubs/states/newsrel/2010/denver111010.html

No, the caller is not "Fed. agency," the caller is a scammer. Read about it here http://www.justice.gov/dea/pubs/states/newsrel/2010/denver111010.html

Go to DEA.GOV there is a link to this scam on thier site. Laugh at them & EVERYBODY should just call them Sacmboy & hang up. Oh, Laugh at them a LOT & tell them they should move to hollywood. They always need b-grade actors.

I received a call from this number earlier today, but wasn't near the phone to answer. The voice mail left said is was Officer Selinski from  the DEA and that it was VERY important that I call her back. That was it.

I tried the number several times and each time it stated that I had reached "the DEA, The Drug Enforcement Agency" <actually how it was stated> and all their lines were busy. I was asked to leave my name, docket number and phone number, and that someone would call be back. Of course I didn't leave a message, but instead call the REAL DEA in Washington. They have no record of this number or an Officer Selinski.

I just had the same call tonight from the commander Linwinski with the DEA and I was told to call her back.  A man named Jacob called back and told me that I had ordered meds online about 5 years ago and they were coming from a 3rd world country.  He said this was agsinst the law and I would be arrested.  I asked for his badge number and he avoided the answer by asking another question.  He wanted to know what state I was in.  I told him that he can look it up himself since he knew all about me.  He said he was going to punch it in the computer and call me back.  I hung up and he called  right back stating that his commander Linwinski will be in the morning around 9:00 AM and she would call me back with all of the information.  Before he hung up he told me that there would be a search warrant for my house and person issued.  He wanted to know what time they can call back tomorrow night.  I told him the same time as now.  So I call the DEA office locally and tell them about the phone call.  Be aware of this.  I don't think it's real but they haven't call me back yet.

December 2 - Just got a call from this number and as with the others, the woman idenified herself as Commander Linwinski with the DEA at Extention 119.  She gave the number for me to return the call once I had gone to the bank to withdraw cash.  She said that two officers would be at my house to arrest me for purchasing illegal drugs from the Dominican Republic and for selling them and that I would immediately be extradited to the DR unless I went to my bank and took out $5K cash and sent it to the DR immediately, before 7 pm their time.  It was, according to her, the only way to resolve the matter with a civil complaint, avoid adverse press and to avoid an arrest by DEA agents.  Since she had an actual but old address and a current phone number, I decided to go directly to my local police and local Narcotics Division to report the call.  I gave them her name and.  They obviously confirmed that never would a real agent(s) would make such a call, make such threats and/or demands, etc.

They are still calling. Stealing money from scared people. I wish they could be stopped.

They are still active at this number extorting money in the dea scam.....  watch out!!!

Got an urgent message from federal officer David Wallace in NY. He told me that due to activity online that I've research online for percriptions 3 years ago that a fed. agent was coming to my house with a search warrent, that they were going to arrest me and my husband for conspiricy. I would be due in court on Monday in NY. I told him no way was that going to happen, he proceeded to read off my charges and I could spend up to 5 years in federal prison. I started get mad, and he got mad, said he was calling the customs officers and car was coming to pick me up. When I call my husband on the other line, he heard me and said that we both were going down. But he could try to work with the officials to get our charges down to community service, or a fine.He then "got on the radio" and told the officers to come and get me.
I was so angry with him, and the situation, after hanging up with my husband I called the custom dept. in my area, explained it to them and the customs agent said it was a scam and they don't do things like that. This A** even told me that because a child in Missouri had gotten into these drugs and died, that this is now on me because I was conspiring with these online pharmacy's overseas.
What can be done to stop these people, If I were an 80 yr old lady i could have had a heart attack, this guy was good I had me in tears.

This person need to be stopped

well she must be in cahoots with the people who we so stupidly trusted, or she would not have phone number and mailing address. Showed up as private caller private name, I asked for her name and #, then told her to call back in 10 minutes, that's when the big big action started, at first I had to be in court on Monday, then came the arrest warrant ect. She finally just hung up after telling me they were coming to take me away.

I would be up for gutting Major Tanner for the pig that she is!  My nightmare started with me placing an order for some things which I was later told were "confiscated" by the DEA (e.g. Maj. Tanner) and I would lose my order, my money and be fined XXX number of dollars which must be paid within so many hours (once within so many minutes!).  My question to everyone out there is, "Are you ready and willing to go after these people?"  "There surely is a way to shut them down and 'put them down' that would not come back to bite those who were frightened enough to have actually paid these people!"  Let me know via this site, I guess, but if you are not allowed, say so on this site and I will find a way to get back to you.  Ok?

"Officer Tanner" needs to be gutted like a pig

This number called saying that an DEA Officer Tanner was going to arrest me within 45 minutes unless I paid a $4500 fine to be wired via western union to the Dominican Republic.  Police walkie talkies blaring in the backround and threats of extradition and incarceration.  What a scam.  Be wary of any calls like this!!!
