DENIED

receivecd call from 253 326 5961, no message, when called back was told had reached DEA.  I also received past calls from a Peter Johnson claiming he was DEA and I needed to call him back as soon as possible.  I know now how my informatin came to their attention but when my attorney called back said party denide making calls.

Posting this as a  buyer bewarede notice.

Someone left a message, said he was special agent Robert Douglas from DA, drug enforcement. Said urgent you call us back at extension 2225. When I called, said I was returning a call from Robert Douglas and was told to hold. Sounded like the same person when he came back, said I was facing charges for ordering controlled substances on the internet. He said a package from the  Dominican Republic had been intercepted that was for my address. He even had my address. How scary, I have not ordered anything like this!

A new scare scam.  When are these people going to get a real job? The sad thing is people will actually pay them

Rec'd this call this am.  Left message.  Called back and he used every kind of threat..  Same as above from sleeplessinseattle  Never ordered anything.  Fake DEA agent named Peter Johnson (dick dick get it?)  Gave me fake case number etc.  Very well spoken and sounded like a NYC accent.  Blocked the number and reported to DEA Diversion as also stated above. Very intimidating until fake agent decided to "help you out due to good record" and then wants money sent.  Didn't get to where since I said I had no money until Wed.  They will wait until then, fake agent said.  Will also be informing local law enforcement.

"They say they are DA Drug Enforcement; Urgent Call;"  when you try to return the call they are unreachable at voicemail.

Fake Drug Agent.  Has called 3 times accusing me of ordering drugs, which I NEVER DID.  Saying my "package" was intercepted @ customs & unless I pay $7,000 in fines I will be deported to the Dominican Republic TODAY and taken to prison. For a item I NEVER ORDERED AND NEVER RECEIVED BECAUSE I NEVER ORDERED IT!!!! They said they have a unit on the way to my home with a search warrant along with an arrest warrant. I told them I knew they were a SCAM & to stop calling. So the next day they have a different "Special Agent" call. Today it was Special Agent Wallace.  I blocked their number.  Hopefully the harassment will stop now. I hope you guys get them.  It's very upsetting.

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.
