Lets put this to rest.  Its a scam pure and simple.  People, please disregard and ignore anyone calling and representing themselves as a dea (or any other type of federal or law enforcement agent).

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.  This is completely fake and NOTHING will happen to you or your family, These jerks have absolutely no power over you whatsoever unless you let them by falling for their nonsense.

If you have the gumption, try and keep them on the line as long as possible.  Make-up any information they are requesting from you on the spot.  Keep them talking, pretend you are scared and maybe, you will be able to obtain mailing addresses, real phone or fax numbers, or any other information you can use to assist the REAL authorities in apprehending these fools.

If you're not in the mood for any of their games, remind them that impersonating a federal officer or agent is a felony and watch how quickly they will disappear!  Rest easy and think to yourself that this type of call is utter BS.  Take control and tell these guys where to go!

It is very important to file an FCC complaint anytime you receive calls like this.  If enough complaints are registered, eventually these calls may stop.

Below is a list of other (or perhaps the same) DEA scammers.  Read through and cross-post these numbers anywhere or anytime these jerks call with a new number.

US Department of Justice, DEA Website: Extortion Scams:
http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/pubs/pressreleases/extortion_scam.htm

I received a call from a mumbling mexican who claimed to represent the DA's office or the DEA or something as I could hardly hear the message he left on my answering machine.  He said it was very important that I call him back. I called him back and heard the name javier Pena which is how I found this blog!! I live in Marin County, CA.

I just got a call this morning from a det. delgado. same thing, as everyone else posted. the call is from DC 202-241-9282. interesting enough i recieved this same call last year from dt. rice,  the call was from Boston area, freaked me out. i called my attorney which in turn called a friend at the DEA and found out it was a scam. I have not ordered any meds online, however my pc was hacked through a email posted as a friend, when you opened it, suprised an overseas pharmacy. this hack attached to my email addresses and sent out same emails posing as me with this virus. where it started i do not know, but it was like a bad chain letter. when i notified everyone, i asked if they knew anyone else this  might of happened to and, whamo yes long before it affected me. so be careful and report it and DO NOT TALK TO THEM!.  ps do not save infor with your/friends phone numbers in your emails lessoned learned.

How about a similar call from a Manjual Castios special agent or something like that saying that he was from the DA Drug Enforcement Administration US Gov't. etc.  Said that there was an arrest warrent and a search warrent issued against me.  That part of the message was quite garbled compared to the first part of the message.

The phone number he gave is 804-588-9106.  I admit is was a bit freaked out, but after finding this site, I'm relieved that this was a prank call.  I haven't ordered any medications on line in years, so I was caught off guard.

I have received call of extortion from William Pena stating to be a DEA Officer.  Said I would be arrested.  This is a scam.  He said to go to 7-11 and get 3 green dot money pack reloadable cards worth $1500.00.  Then to call him when I was at 7-11.  He said I could make payment plans.  The phone number was 269-533-4353, a Michigan cell phone number.  He said to give the cards to the Fed Ex guy tomorrow.  Same thing like the other calls....

If you order medication from on online pharmacy, thousands of ASSociates have your information. They are improving their technique. The first guy that call me on Good Friday said that the Dominican republic was going to extradite 30,000 Americans. After talking to his translator I could get out of it for a first time fine of $400 to Western Union. I also just got a call from DEA Rice. Because Law enforcement has very important felonies they are investigating, I thing the attitude is, get burned and learn. But don fall for this crap!! Because many states are advising these pharmacies to DNS - do not ship to our state - due to local laws, these associates have found a new way to make easy money. A handful of parmacies are servicing thousands of co-ops and free lance associates. Don't be a sucker, if the company is selling schedule drugs, they will shut them dowm and arrest the doctors that set up the scam.

Just got a call from "James Smithers" or "James Miller" a supposed DEA agent.  If I bring $4600 to a local Western Union place, in cash, they won't arrest me today for buying pharm from the DR.  Also invovled was "David Stone" a US Customs and Border Patrol officer.  The local PD said this scam happens every day.  Thank God I found this website and all the other posted scam victims.  Please don't believe these callers!

This fake DEA Special Agent William Rice is scamming under different names and phone numbers so do not fall for it.

I am a police officer who received a phone call from a 410-609-6964 number.  The moron stated that he was a DEA agent, and that he had me under investigation for buying prescription drugs on line.  I called some DEA friends who work out of Maryland to run a trace.  I know I have never used illegal substances of any kind, let alone purchasing them over the Internet.    Hope those bone heads contact me again.

Same guy called me but used the name Anthony Williams (410-609-6963, ext 2013)

I received a call from a very foriegn woman that said she was a DEA agent and her name was detective Meredith Thompson. Her story was the same about the Dominican Republic. She said I had to go to CVS or Walgreens and get a pre pay card and put 1300.00 dollars on it and she would have an agent meet me there and pick it up. I called the local authorities and madeout a report and they were contacting the Feds to give the info. The number they called me from was 301-327-6186. Be careful not to fall for this.

I have been getting these calls for two days and different agents call back and are loud, aggressive and threatening.  The man claims I am being extradicted to Dominican Republic for some drug I purchased and that the Federal Marshalls are out to pick me up with an arrest warrant signed by a judge and when I said I will meet them at the local Police station to turn myself in he wont accept this plus he said a lawyer wont help me as they have to have some special liscensing and crap for international reasons.  Threatens me with federal prison and quotes statutes non stop but then says he is the only one who can help him and make this go away, I am assuming he wants money but I finally hung up and quit answering his nonstop calls.
What a scam!

Pena is the idiot that called me and when I told him I order meds thru my insurance company pharmacy (legally!!!) he tried to say that this was not legal and I have been scammed.
Numbers they have called me from:
425-216-9235
917-475-9636
877-650-6616

I just got a call from 201-399-4425.  Same story, can't remember the agents name.  Guy was arresting people or going to see them in court for meds ordered from the Dominican Republic.  He rambled off an address that I lived at many years ago.  I freaked out, said I had to get back to work and he said he would talk with the prosecuter and try to get me a second chance.  I called the real DEA after I got off the phone with the scammer and they told me it was an extortion scam.

When he called back I told him what the real DEA had told me, but he kept acting like he was for real.  I told him I was done talking with him and he could talk to my lawyer.

He said I'll see you in court.

I hung up.  I hope this guy gets arrested!  It scared the [***] out of me.

I just tried to call him back to get his name, but it goes straight to voicemail.

Yep, they're still coming in. Mine here in Cali are from a Boston area code. I figured it was a scam of some sort, I never answered the phone but the guy keeps leaving messages. Maybe it's time for a reverse 419 action....

I don't get calls but those random emails that the have funds for me or some kind of money I called them and what government answers the phone on a Sunday.with a lot of noice behind him?Urgent attention needed

same prank no money requested. After I called an attorny and calmed down a little I thought it might be a disgruntled pharmacy also but more likely some sadistic person who likes to manipulate, violate and hear fear from their victims. I didnt get a phone number but my caller called himself special agent Michael Heg, spoke perfect english and had a government id #.

Received message on land line from DEA agent Matt Gold, saying that they were doing a national criminal investigation and my name came up.  I needed to call him ASAP.  Scared the living s*** out of me.  I called back, got the same story, pkg intercepted by US Customs in FL, from Dominican Republic.  I knew I never ordered anything from overseas, so I played dumb, but was scared.  Eventually, he transferred me to a Michael Turner who was playing the good cop.  They were both spouting criminal codes, and if I told a 3rd party, I would be charged with conspiracy as well.  This Turner talked for so long that I kind of figured it was a scam.  He told me they would freeze my charges and he would transfer me back to Matt Gold who would tell me what to do.  When he said my fine was $7,000 and I needed to send it Western Union, I said "wait a minute-I don't think you are real DEA".  He said "disregard this call, we are sending the Marshalls, and hung up  Important note***** they called me from Detroit #313-355-9178*****I have read on web that they are using Skype to access US ph #'s but are in DR. Since this has been going on for over 4 years don't think the real DEA is interested.  They would have caught them by now if they wanted them.
Thank God for sites like this so we can figure this all out.  Many thanks to everyone for posting!

I just received a call from a Special Agent Castillo.  He left a message on my recorder saying they were doing an investigation and i need to call them ASAP.  When i tried to pick up the call, they didn't respond.  When i called back a really odd message was on the outgoing message with a different name and really hard to hear but the message did state a badge number as well.  Unfortunately, I left a message for them to call me back because I thought this was real.  I guess I will have to wait and see if they call me back.  Thanks to this site I know this is a scam and will block their number from my phone. If they continue to call me I will report to the Sherrif.  The number they called me from was in Maryland 301-494-7203.  BEWARE!!!
