- WithheldI received a call from an 'agent' John Gilbride from DEA Boston that said a warrant was issued for my arrest in the Dominican Republic unless I immediately went to a Western Union and wired $4,000 to Dick William, Supreme Court 203 in Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic. His phone number is 508-297-3933 ext 1134.
I reported this to the DEA hotline. Unfortunately, the Hotline mailbox is full, so I called my local and Boston DEA office and asked for the Agent on Duty. The agent in Chicago tried called this guy, then caled me back to tell me that if I wanted to pursue this, that I should call the FBI as they are responsible for investigating anyone posing as Federal agent ( regardless of which agency ).
I also did a couple of quick internet searches ( try www.numberinvestigator.com ) and found that the exchange was serviced by Comcast Phone of Massachusetts ( whom I called ), that the ACTUAL phone company was YMAX Comms. Corp. MA, and used switch NDHMMAEFDS0 ( see www.telcodata.us ).
All of this means that the scammer is probably outside the country and using a digital phone service along with some type of routing software or hardware to reroute the call. Hopefully the FBI is monitoring all of the numbers associated with this scam.
DO NOT under any circumstances send any money. The DEA, FDA, etc do not operate this way. And if they were coming to arrest you, they wouldn't be calling ahead !- Caller: Phony DEA agent from 508-297-3933
- Truely Upset| 1 replyI have also been getting these phone calls....apparently when I applied for a payday loan....my info was shared. When these calls came through the man w an Indian accent told me that I had a legal matter against me and that I needed to take care of this matter or I'd be arrested. The gentleman had the last four of my social and my checking account info....kept baggering me and when i told him not to call me anymore...that if I had any legal matter against me, I'll get the paperwork in the mail...I hung up and his continuously kept calling me back....it was scary...he didn't get a chance to ask me for any money, but I will report them to the DEA Office ASAP
