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.

Got a call this morning from D.E.A (poser) agent. SAaid about an on-line purchase in 2008. Said if I did not get a money-order for as much as I had, that I would face 5-10 yrs in federal prison! This demand started at $750.00 but $250.00 would suffice.
Stopped money order. Was  able to get all money returned!!!! Reported to every Western Union and F.T.C. Told him this, he has not called back!!!!!

Said he was from the DEA.  Second time in less than a week that someone impersonating a DEA Agent left me a voicemail.  Two different numbers.  I called the first one back and told the man that I know it's a scam and to stop calling me.  He cursed at me.  I cursed back and he hung up on me.  I blocked  both phone numbers.  These are lowlifes that should be in trouble for impersonating DEA Agents and trying to scare and scam people.

Fake DEA.  I get these calls all the time from different numbers.  Lesson learned -- never order pharmaceuticals on-line because (1) they'll send you fake stuff, and (2) they'll keep calling you to renew your "prescription," and (3) then you start receiving these fake DEA calls.  I trace it back to ordering Cipro on line some time in around 2006 because my insurance had lapsed -- the calls have been coming in regularly since.

Who is the owner?

The DEA doesn't give anyone a head's up that they are on their way to arrest you.  That, by itself, should be enough to set your mind at ease.

Said they were from dea and coming to get me

Block this call.  End of story.

Called me 12/26 said they were DEA.  This was the third time this year (use different number's).
The first time they said I was going to be arrested and where did I want to be picked up,at work or at home.  I didn't know that they gave advanced warning.  DEA website gives you info on this scam.

Scammer claiming he is with DEA.  Just ignore the call.  DEA would not call you, they would arrest you.
