Says they are from DEA about pending investigation.

Says they are DEA conducting an investigation and my name came up there is a warrant out for my arrest

ya what's up with that? Sounds like a scam to me.........since when does the
DEA give you a courtesy call warning you that you about to be arrested? Duh, ya right! Thanks for the heads up DEA............

Yup, he called me today, too. The guy said the same thing, and tried to threaten me! I don't know what the deal is with this guy, maybe it's how he gets off. I wonder if he ever heard of the one about "Prince Albert in a can"? I used to make crank phone calls like this when I was about, oh around 7 years old........hello DEA guy, whoever you are, (alias: nut job), grow up and get a real job!

Right? Huh?

Kidding aside.........who is this guy, and why is he doing this?

I get calls from these types of callers all the time!  The local police have told me it is a scam and they try to get information from you so that they can get into your bank accounts, etc.  They call via Skype.  Do not give out any information!  I wonder how they get our numbers?

Got a call from this place today saying they r DEA and that they will be at my house in 15 min...i asked what probable cause and warrents they had to come search my house and the guy started yelling something i didnt understand and then told me my address.  i asked to speak with his supervisor and he then told me "his" people would be tere shortly...wtf

I just got the same call..have  they got u yet

Got a garbled message from this number from a guy named Brian Gonzalez purporting to be with the DEA. Same claims as above. Called the number he gave - was a magicjack number that is now disconnected. Called back the number he called from and it went right into an unprofessional voicemail system - clearly not from a government agency. Searched DEA site, and they describe this very scam. They have a hotline number 1-877-792-2873.

Received a phone call David Lopez from DEA needed to urgently speak with me he will be in the office for the next two hours and must speak to me today.

left an extension 214 with phone number 301534-8745
Heavy accent unable to determine origin of accent. Tried to call back the number but only get a fast busy signal.

They claim to be conducting an investigation on behalf of the DEA.  I told them them to stuff it and that they are committing fraud and hung up.

This is the second time I have received this call. I order(legal)medication from the internet and they use that list somehow.

He's a scam. If you ordered meds online, the companies can sell your information to clowns like this. He is completely fake. I've called this guy out there times, all different numbers. he will start yelling at you that he's a Tennesseans will come to your address and "take care of you himself". He's a joke and is sitting over seas getting money from people not smart enough to figure him out.

The fake DEA scammers are usually based in the Dominican Republic.  They can't reach you no matter how much they bluster.

Yep, got the same call.  The individual identified himself as Steven Gomez with DHS.  Apparently he his changing his MO.  Reported this to Verizon fraud.  I got the same threats (You will be behind bars next week, We are coming after you etc...).

I got the same call from Steven Gomez on 9/10/12. Said he was a DEA special agent and would get rid of the federal charges if I would pay a $1,300 "fine", wired to the Dominican Republic, becuase his "investigation " showed I was a good, law abiding citizen. He was very smooth talker, very insistent and then, finally, threatening. I called my attorney, who told me to call my local police.  They turned in a complaint to the real DEA and told me it was a scam. He kept calling me at least 10 times, but I don't answer.

THIS IS AN EXTORTION SCAM. Scammers pretend to be law enforcement (police, sheriff, Feds, AG's Office, fake cop agencies with made-up names) and may be using bought/hacked/phished loan application data to extort money or personal info for fictitious crimes.

I got a call on 9-11-12 said he was the DEA and Im being investigated for drugs and gonna be arrested what a stupid idot why would the DEA call you and say that Duh what a loser he is and stupid too,

He was barely understandable with the accent and said the DEA was coming after my boss if I didn't give her home phone number.  I said right, and that he was no DEA agent.  I can't believe the government can't stop this guy.

I got a call from Both david Lopez and Steven Gomez claiming to be with the DEA .  Honestly, it was good and convincing to a point.  He had me and my wife scared.  He stated the Federal Prosecutor was willing to issue a fine to have the matter settled.  I believed him until he gave me the address to pay the fine.  I looked up the address and it was  just down the street at a shopping center, which I found strange (I would expect to pay a fine at a US Courthouse).  I then did some research and found out it was scam.

he called me back from a different phone to him from a different phone a day later with the same message (I called him back during the first call from a different phone and got a a busy  a long pause and then a busy signal.  I think that it records the number called and they look up to see who called them.  My wife and I have different last names so they did not know he was talking to someone he had just called 2 days earlier).   I  asked him who was the federal prosecutor on the case.   He told me Juan "something" and it was being handled out the US District Court in Albany, York.  I asked him what district that was and he said district 78.  I told him I believe that district is the US 2nd district for Northern New York and there is no district 78.  He then got flustered and hung up.

Honestly, they sounded convincing until the part about immediately paying a fine via a Moneygram with no paperwork.  You am questions and throw BS back at you hopin you believe it.
