I got a call last year from 'Jerome' and just received another one today.  I learned my lesson last year when I left work crying because I thought I was going to jail (I have been in Legal for 13 years and now in HR - I was horrified) I called my husband about gathering the money to send to these creeps.  My husband was the one who convinced me not to send the money (he was the level-headed one).  I found out after I missed the deadline they gave me to send the money via Western Union that they were not legitimate and I didn't receive a call back.....until today.  He left me a message at work advising to call him immediately.

Who is this from?

exact same thing different number 202-241-0937. So glad I did not sent money. Reported to the real DEA & Western Union.

I received a phone call Nov 29, 2012 from Special Agent Jerome Sampson with the DEA saying my name also came up in an investigation, accusing me of ordering drugs through the mail.  He told me that if I did not pay the fine to the Dominican Republic I would be extradited to Washington to face jail time of up to 5 years.  Only I did not know at the time that it was a scam.  I sent $783 through moneygram and then he called back and said that he was mistaken and it was $1,783.  I then rushed to a Western Union before they closed because he told me this needed to be done today.  I was told that all charges were dismissed and I would be receiving a 115 page package the next day and I would need to sign three forms and mail it back to him.  Then it gets worse, the next morning I receive a phone call from DEA Agent Peter Johnson and he was going through all my paperwork and found that agen Jerome Sampson missed a second fine so he would be handling it to make sure that everything gets done correctly.  He told me this fine would be higher than the one before because it was a more serious charge which would cost $3,853 and needed to be done as soon as possible.  I was so scared and believed it all, so I went to the bank and then to Western Union.  I was fortunate that the manager told me this was a scam.  I was still concerned because they had sent me 4 emails which all looked so legal to me, even the DEA logo.  She convinced me that it was a scam and we reported it to Western Union.  I then filed a report with the police department.  I just don't understand if there are so many reports coming from this phone number and others very close to it, why can't these people be caught and arrested for all the illegal things that they are doing.  I hope that this can save some other person from going through the hell that I have been through.

I received a phone call from a man who identified himself as  Special Agent Jerome Sampson with the DEA and said it was urgent I call him back. This happened to me last year as well, only that time, I stayed on the phone and listened to the person for about 30 mins, saying my name had come up in an investigation, accusing me of ordering drugs through the mail, etc. He threatened action unless I sent an amount of money by money gram. Even though I knew it was a scam, these calls are upsetting and harrassing. He continued to call several times, even though I didn't take the calls.

Left a message that I  should call back urgently.

Same thing happened to me. Not real!!! Omg, and I gave him 1500 dollars. Don't believe him!

Same call;  same number.  I called back and read to him the DEA warning about scams by people pretending to be DEA or FBI agents.  Interestingly, it was from a "Mag






















































I received the same call yesterday... same number.  I called back, read him the warning on line about scams by people posing as Federal agents to pay fake "fines' or they would be arrested for some reason...  I called back and left a  message saying that if I ever heard from him again I would call the FBI, Homeland Security, the DEA, and the police.  I also mentioned that I sincerely doubted that any Federal agent would have a "Magic Jack" phone number.  And that if I ever hear from him I would use all the law enforcement resources at my disposal to get him.
