The phone number he gave me was 510-725-4005. He wanted $2500 to "drop charges".
He claimed to be an attorney with the DEA and even had me go to a website that came up Justice Department. He said he was Thomas Harrigton, an attorney with the DEA. He said I had gotten drugs from the Domenican Republic five years ago. After he found out I was an elderly lady who lives on Social Security, he lowered my "plea bargain" to $180. I was to take this money in cash to a check cashing store in my city. The police told me that they also have a Western Union place there and he would want me to send the money through them. I am in poor health and still feel sick about this.

This guy called here and left a message on my voicemail. I reported it to the "something & Extortion hotline" at DEA. The telephone number is 877-792-2873. Yes it is illegal to impersonate a DEA officer! I received a call from this incredible jackass last year with the same crap and I hung up on him then. I don't get why they haven't caught this guy or these guys when it's been going on for several years. Laugh at the jerk, tell him you are a DEA Officer, tell him you are with the FBI....whatever. Then report it - though I can't see that it is doing any good to do so. Worth a try anyway. I'm considering calling my local police force so they can put out a warning in the newspaper. There are many elderly people here who might fall for this crap.

Oh and by the way, Isnt it Illegal to impersonate a federal agent??? With all these complaints you would think the authorities would go in and throw these people in prison where they belong!!!!

That would be correct unless you are the federal agency that is in charge of doing just that. Could it be the DEA is shaking down people it thinks are minor offenders for some pocket cash. This could be a huge scam they are running. Instead of prosecuting people they know would cost them more money than its worth they call them up and try and shake them down a bit. Or its people spoofing the number trying to shake people down posing as the DEA. That would be my bet.

I got the same call. This guy has called me before claiming to be the F.B.I. I told him that I was the F.B.I and he hung up.Ha Ha. I called the number back a couple times and talked to a female once and another guy another time and they both said this was a travel agency out of Miami, Florida. I did a phone number search and the call is out of Long Beach California. I think it really is a travel agency but they have a employee who is running scams while he is at work. They all speak spanish and youll get a recording in Spanish if you call the number.

I got a call today from some purporting to be from the DEA. He spoke so fast and with such a thick East Coast accent, I coudln't make out half of what he was saying. He said that I had illegally purchased perscription drugs over the Internet two and a half years ago and that the company with whom I made the purchase had filed charges against me. When I questioned him about his credentials, he got agitated and started speaking even faster. He woudln't listen to me, so I hung upn on him. He called back. I didn't asnwer, and he left no message. What a bunch of BS!

I got the same call today, about an hour ago. However he actually had an address that I used to live at. I told him I had no clue what he was talking about. At this point he got very angry and told me that I would be arrested in 5 minutes. I was tempted to call the cops because he did have an address, however, I didn't. How is this person, how did he get my info, and wtf does he want? he didn't ask for money, he just claimed I bought illegal drugs, which I didn't and would be arrested. Should I be worried?

Mexican sounding man, claiming to be Office Thomas Harrington with the DEA. Claiming that I purchased Adipex online three years ago from a business operating illegally off the coast of somewhere....eventually I hung up. He called back twice, but I did not answer. After Googling the number, I am shocked to see that this has happened to several others.

Says he is Thomas Harrigan, saying I need to wire him 2750.00 for helping smuggle drugs into the US because I bought a prescription online back in 2007. Says he is with DEA and if I send money WN the charges will be dropped. I know for a fact the law doesn't go about their business this way and I notified him I would be contacting my local law enforcement to see if there is a warrant for my arrest and give them the telephone number he was calling from, and I hung up, he hasn't called me back yet.

This mexican sounding man identified himself the same, as Officer Thomas Herrington. Said he had my name and credit card information from where I purchased online drugs! I have NOT done such a thing so I asked him to verify my name and the credit card used and to what company this was done with. He said he could not give me any information and if I didn't cooperate he would issue a warrant for my arrest and I could be imprisoned up to 10 years. He wasn't answering my questions so I asked for his supervisor and he said he was the Chief of Operations...haha what a joke. He finally hung up on me.

Don't even worry you guys, I got the same call this morning from the same guy and he told me I could go to Federal Prison and I wouldnt say a word to him so he got pissed and asked me if I was properly dressed because he was going to send an officer to my house and arrest me. He didn't even have my correct info. I have worked in law enforcement field and this was such a scam. This is not how it works at all!
