called my business and said they were calling from bge and that our power would be turned off if we did not pay a re-connect fee (cash only) to their crew who would arrive at the business in 3 to 4 hours.  said bge had "virus" (pronounced "birus") in computer system & our last 2 payments "didn't go thru".

I got a call from 347-531-2660 first they were US customs then they were DEA saying I ordered prescriptions online. I hung up.

CALL BACK FREQUENTLY.  FILL HIS ANSWERING MACHINE.  WONDER IF ANYONE HAS EVER BLOWN AN AIR HORN IN HIS EAR, THAT'D BE HORRIBLE.  IF 100 PEOPLE ANNOY HIM 10 MINUTES A DAY EACH, MAYBE HE WILL APPLY AT BEST BUY.

Call your power company & report this.  Hopefully no one else will get scammed!

Just got a call from a foreigner saying he worked for Dominion Power and they had a problem with the accounting department and if I did not pay $495.63 by today they were going to turn off my power. I called him out on the scam and he told me to go f*** myself. I replied with a nice follow up call.

someone from this number called my cell phone ( did not even say the right name) says he is special agent  matt golb (hear beeping throughout the recording) says you are being investigated by the us govt. LOL WOW!! they use all types of tactics anymore!! even left the voicemail on my phone!! lol- JOKERS

This scam is unbelievably old...and unfortunately still going on.....i just got a call, didn't answer and put it on call block after i read these messages.  The feds don't call ahead to cut deals or collect fines....don't ever send these a holes money....several people have committed suicide after being scared by these lowlifes....

---> CeeCee pleaded, "Please report this jerk to the number above." <---

That's for you to do.  Otherwise, all we could report is that an undentified guy from some telephone number called someone and claimed he was a DEA agent.  And how do we know this?  An anonymous person on the Internet said so.

No so convincing when we have to put it that way, is it?

The reason that these calls cannot be stopped is that people like you do not take the advice of people like "Alfalfa" above to call the DEA at the number given in Alfalfa's post and report the call to them.  Instead, they bellyache on sites like this that the calls cannot be stopped and that there is no recourse to that, which is demonstrably incorrect.

Just received two calls from same "DEA" agent.   Connection was very poor.  He addressed me as Mrs. Kay (!!).  I hung up on him.  He immediately called me back and very rudely said there was a warrant out for my arrest.  I told him I DON'T THINK SO and hung up.  Why can't these calls be stopped??  These idiots are able to ghost legitimate numbers and harass us with no recourse.  Just plain irritating.

I received a p/c from this nasty person today from 347-531-2660. I listened to my voice msg. that this guy left on my phone. He said he was a DEA officer and I needed to call him back asap. Needless to say I almost had a severe panic attack.It just so happen that a good friend of mine who is a lawyer came over.  I returned the call and my first inkling was their was no extension to put in as he said his  ext. was  221. He didn't answer but called back after I assume he listened to my message. He became rude, nasty and said his officers were on the way to pick me up because I was involved in drug trafficking. My lawyer threatened him and the guy was just as rude and insisting that he was a DEA agent, Please report this jerk to the number above. I also called his phone company which is time-warner in NYC and reported this abuse and impersonating a drug enforcement agent is illegal. I honestly hope that the powers that be will find him and punish him to the fullest extent of the law.

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.

Called this am said " I was going to be arrested for drug trafficking .. Yeah right
Said he wasn't kidding. It's a scam.... Wy doesn't the government do something about these persons . Maybe they need a real job. Or they are wanna b cops . Anyways they are full of s***. Don't pay don't do anything , just hang up. They will call someone else. If the DEA is gonna show up they don't call first .

he called me too, was threatening, I told I didnt know what he was talking about. He said I had to appear in a NY court. He didnt even pick the federal court but the state court? I said not likely, he got all kinds of pissed, said a car was on its way to get me.

I never answer phone calls I don't recognize.  The voicemail says it was the DEAand it's probably that same guy.  A scam for sure.

I got the same call  today 19 May.  Did not give them a chance to ask for money.  He said he was agent Wilbur Plummer who also told me he was investiging us in reference to ordering hydrocodone on the internet in 2005 and 2006 from somewhere in the Carribean.  I told him, first of all, that he would have to prove to me he was and his response was "fine, I'll send a unit to your house right now".  I told him to go ahead.  Told me he was signing the warrant to search my house right now and would have it delivered.  We would also have to go to court next week.  Said this was a federal investigation and said I would, not could, go to prison for 3 years..   I did not give him a chance to go any further.  He was rude, nasty and any number of other expletives I can't mention here.  Anyone else getting a call from this number should hang up on Agent Wilbur Plummer!   Don't these idiots have anything better to do than to try to scare the hell out of people.

yea same thing fu ck this guy !

Called from the FDA and said I was being investigated for purchasing prescription medication on the internet.  I hung up.

I got I call on Friday, May 10, 2013 from a Dominic Lopez claiming to be with the DOJ.  He said I was being charged with two federal counts, as my name appeared during the investigation of an internet drug company.  I was then handled over to Agent Wilbur Plummer, who told me her was negotiating with the some country in the islands and that I would have to agree to testify in New York and cooperate in order to have the charges dropped.  Then he said I had to wire $1750 to the Dominican republic for court fees, and I should tell the clerk that I knew the person I was wiring the money to.  Of course I was scared and rattled so I agreed.  I immediately got on line, looked up the DEA, called, and was told its a scam.  The jerk called back an hour later, I said I didn't do it, I'm being scammed-Don't call me any more.

Tonight, I receiced another call from the 347 exchange.  I am starting to get pissed
