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.

well i got a call a few days ago and now he is going by the name Lt. John Lewis.  Phone number 202-239-2701.  It came from Washington DC.  He told me the same thing pay 1300.00 or go to jail.  Thanks to these websites I realized it was a scam. Hopefully we can get the word out so he does not intimidate anyone else or the real DEA can catch him.  I reported him on every site I could find and also to the real DEA.  Thank you everyone for posting about this scum.

They almost got me. And since we are all jumping at shadows now, how can we be sure they are not in charge of this web site? Think about it. They don't have to be calling from the location shown on your caller id. All they have to do is register the phone at that location and they can call from anywhere, NY, CA. or anywhere and it will show that the call originated from TX. Think about it. You want to find out who called you and their location. You see a company advertising phone traces and ON THIS SITE no less. You will not get anymore information than they want to give you. You are also out the money that is charged for the phone trace. Who do you think might be running the phone trace? Maybe the same that we have all dealt with before.

I got a call from Lewis Thompson on Friday. He said he was with the DEA fine dept. He also told me that I had a warrant issued for my arrest and a court date on Monday. The only way out of this was to send $ 1,900 to the Dominican Republic the same day via Western Union. If I paid this fine the warrant would be recalled and charges dropped. These scum bags call on Fridays knowing you will want to act on this right away . No one wants to go to jail. I found out that this was a scam by calling the DEA in San Antonio. My original call was from Sherman TX. San Antonio told me there was no office in Sherman and that this was a scam. I hope these people are brought down!

Prescription Drug Scam Uses DEA Agents' Identities To Terrify Victims into Paying Up

The websites seem so simple, so inviting -- buy prescription diet pills or sleep-aids without a prescription. But it could be a trap.

A few clicks on certain websites can lead to phone calls that sound like this: "This is officer James Kashin. If you and your wife don't call me back you are going to jail."

Or this: "This is special agent David Brown. We are going to bring you in, in custody, with criminal charges for medication from overseas."

It's all part of an elaborate scam, including the alleged law enforcement phone calls.

According to DEA officials, criminal scam artists first sell prescription drugs online through websites they sometimes operate. After customers input their personal information and make a purchase, the criminals can use the information to blackmail and extort them.

Scammers pose as federal drug enforcement agents, even use actual agents' names, when they make threatening phone calls to thoroughly scare their marks, but then the fake agents offer their victims a lifeline. The caller tells his victims that they have a choice -- either they pay up by a certain deadline and their names will be cleared, or they will be charged as suspects in a criminal investigation and face jail time.

"Basically he wanted me to pay $1,500," said Kesha Howell, a victim of the scam.

"He's got you in such a panic state that by the time he offers you the money, I mean really, that's a no-brainer. Just tell me how much and if I can afford to do it, I'm in," said Darren Dutil, another victim.

Victims of this scam say the phone calls sound authentic and are genuinely terrifying because the person on the other end has all of their personal information.

"He was very calm, cool, but very intimidating. He knew things about me. He had legit information on me and that's what was so scary," Howell said.

"I was ready to call my wife and kids and say, 'hey look, see you all later. I'm obviously going to be gone for a while,'" Dutil said.

Another victim, who didn't want his name revealed, said he got a call from the scammers and fake DEA agents actually showed up at his house in suburban Fort Worth, Texas.

"They pulled up in a black SUV, right there at the driveway. Two white males got outside, stood beside the truck, and a slender 5-10, 5-11 black male came toward me with black wavy hair," he said.

In the end, he said he didn't fall for the scam, but he admitted he came close.

But Carolyn Sirek, a legal secretary from Joshua, Texas, fell into the trap and accepted the buyout option after receiving the scamming calls. According to her husband Dan Sirek, Carolyn went into a local Wal-Mart and wired the scammers the money through Western Union.

"It depleted our savings account, let's put it that way," Dan Sirek said.

Very often, after one payment, the scammers come back for more. Carolyn Sirek was apparently so upset and scared about what happened that she shot and killed herself in her backyard. Her husband said he found her with a bullet hole in her chest.

Thousands of victims, many of whom have paid the scammers, have called the DEA hotline for help. Officials believe several of these people have shelled out thousands of dollars in the extortion and that the operation is being run out of the Dominican Republic.

The DEA has indicted 11 Dominican men, but as of yet, those men have not been arrested. Agents told ABC News they are working with the Dominican government to have the suspects extradited to the United States, and are investigating other groups operating similar scams.

The DEA advises that anyone who gets a threatening phone call to hang up and report it and also warns Americans to be very, very wary of online pharmacies.

"I think that's one of the takeaways for people to understand, that buying over the Internet for controlled substances is highly suspicious, and they should be very cautious about trying to do that," said DEA agent Gary Boggs.

If the 11 men who have been indicted are charged, they face 20 years in prison. Dan Sirek, who lost his wife, thinks they should get the death penalty.

"Our relationship is probably something that only comes along once in a lifetime, and I hope they move fast and get these people so nobody else gets hurt," he said.

Yes, I received a phone call from this number on August 31st.  He stated his name was Robert Hill, that he is a DEA agent and he was investigating my purchase of drugs from online pharmacies.  He stated that I had received drugs in the mail.  My husband and I actually do receive prescription medicines from an employer's sponsored company. This company is located in the United States. I wonder if he has any connection to that company since he knew I had received drugs in the mail.  He gave a case number and badge number on the telephone.  He had no accent that I could determine.  When he got angry and said I would be arrested, I hung up on him. When I called the local DEA Office, they informed me an agent would not give out a case number or badge number over the telephone. I hope they eventually catch him and any possible partners.

Un-F'ing-Believable!  I just checked the messages on my home phone.  A Mr. "Mike Rivas" from the "DEA" left me a message on August 21, 2012 stating that I must call him back immediately in regards to an ongoing investigation.  I cannot believe the balls on these guys!  I'm pretty sure you can get in some big trouble for misrepresenting yourself as a DEA agent....

Lt. John Lewis from the DEA or was it US Customs or I.C.E (Homeland Security).  I do believe he said he was all three....  He said that it was "urgent" that I call him back....  I called back and he told me a long story about charges being pressed on me regarding ordering meds for medicinal purposes from an illegal on-line pharmacy...like it is somehow my problem that they the "illegal" pharmacy??!  After all, they were the ones sending/importing the meds from the Dominican Republic and selling them presumably out of Miami (to my knowledge).  
This guy got me though...he scared me into sending him $$ via Western Union to the D.R.  I could really kick myself now for this though...I should have listened to my gut because there were a number of things that he said that were truly suspect...  He called and called and called about my need to "get out of a warrant" by (of course) paying a large fine.  He then went on to ask me what time my bank closed that day and then even looked into local area Western Union offices that I could go to in order to send the money to pay this "fine"  ...He harassed me until I sent the money and then proceeded to call me the next day to try to get more as he said my "warrant" had or was in the process of being "issued" as we spoke....  I broke down and spoke to a friend about it and he convinced my that it had to be a scam....  We came up with telling him I retained an attorney to look into this and that I had been advised to do nothing more via telephone until I got something legal and in writing referring to this alleged "warrant"....  That word still scares me --the whole thought of it ...me?  warrant?  I think I may have possibly stepped on a few black ants in my life and that is about it...This guy...this SCAM OPERATION is really a piece of work....They must be getting Thousands of Dollars from people.....  If Karma does exist....I do hope and pray that this guy rots in his next life.....

They tried this about 2 years ago and I had a DEA agent come to my home to set up a sting operation to catch this guy. We were seconds away from sitting up a meeting with one of there fake agents when the guy got spooked aand hung up. The agent told me they were trying to catch him for more than 3 years. If you all want, call the DEA and explain to them what is going on and maybe we can get lucky and nail this dummy...

I got a call from this number yesterday afternoon in NJ.  They lefted me a message.  A special agent named Mike Read wanted me to call him back about an "inbestagation" and he wanted me to call, "bery important".  I actually did call and since I have had real dealings with the DEA 12 yrs ago.  I went into the call with a little bit of an attitude.  He told me that he had to transfer me to his "lieutenant".  I told him that the DEA does not have "lieutenants", since everyone is a special agent.  He then told me to stick my finger up my "a**".  Then I had my attorney call them and they did not seem to want to talk to him.......

They probably want you to send money to the Dominican Republic, while trumping up a fake DEA charge.

Got a call from these a-holes this morning.  Tried to scammed me out of money pretending to be DEA agents.   Ignorant fools sounded like they were foreigners.  John Lewis sounded more like Juan Valdez.  His grammar was horrible.  Bet he could not even spell pharmacy, let alone run an investigation.  If you get a called from these morons don´t even bother to call back.
