Calls my cell about 3 times a day. Reported him to Orange County sheriff dept.

Did that the last time this happened.  I called my local DEA office and they were very helpful; even gave me the web address and phone # to file a complaint.  The good folks in DC never bothered to return my call to them.  Made me certainly feel this is more of a bother and far from a priority for them.

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.

Same old story... DEA investigation for drug importation.  I've been down this road before.  These guys are either Dominican or Mexican crooks with a stash of Magic Jacks and false identities to hide their identities and locations.  When you get them mad they cant keep up with their American accent.  I hung up immediately.  I do enjoy *67, though.  When I get bored, I endlessly harass them to tie up their line.

getting repeated phone calls from supposed DEA agents and I know it's bogus. The last one was John Rielly at 978-548-9392, ext. 1525

i'm ao sorry, when they called my 100,000000 times , they were using the name of a real DEA agent, the only problem was, the real DEA agent passed away years ago.
I never bothered to tell the person calling me that he died years ago.
They really drove me crazy

I fell  in his trap  lost 6 grand. ashamed

Claimed to be a DEA agent! Scam!

Got another phone # to add to all the other here on this site.  978-548-9392.  Said he was a DEA agent named Robert something and I'm under investigation and to call him back to settle this case.  Of course, I googled and came up with this SCAM.  

Again the number is

978-548-9292
