First called as "Robert Williams". Then we spoke to "Matthew Barnes" DEA # 77936. Said he needed over $1700 to make the arrest warrant go away. Wanted us to go to a Western Union in a CVS Pharmacy. It all sounded fishy & when we questioned him for supporting evidence he got very angry & talked about how he's been on the force for 17 years & they would come arrest us within 25 minutes. However, he said no local law enforcement agency would have the case number or any record of this.
We called the FBI!

I got the same call - he is a fake and - I reported him to the actual feds and they are going to put him away for presenting himself as a federal official.
