This is a scam.  Person is acting as if he works for the DEA in San Fran with a 619 area code.  If you have problems, call your local DEA number or go to this website www.dea.gov, resource center, extortion scam alert.

I received a phone call from this number and the guy threat me that if I don't answer his questions over the phone he will send an officer to arrest me and he said that he even have the arrest warrant against me. He mentioned that is because I bought some weight loss pills on line that were illegal. I did go to a police station to report him and I been told that not only there is no  warrant against me this could be a scam.

The guy left this number and said he was James Koffer, Special Agent for DEA Global Forces Agency and that he really needed to hear  back from me.  I thought it might be something about my ex husband as he used his last name vs. my current last name.  I won't be calling him back

I just got a phone call from a person asking for me by my full name (kinda scary) letting me know that he has a warrant for my arrest. Total scam. I am calling San Diego PD and letting them know what is going on.

I just got a call today saying there was a warrant for my arrest for purchasing diet pills over the internet.  I was going to be arrested by US Marshals and extradited to the Dominican Republic.  This was officer Pinicut or something like that.  He said he would try and intervene by calling the US Marshalls and Dominican Republic officials to try and make a deal.  I told him I would have someone call him back.  He said I would be arrested today.  This was very scary!

You should've asked him to call you with his real name and stop being a wimp hiding somewhere in the Dominican Republic.

I received a call from this number claiming they had a warrant for my arrest for purchasing drugs online without a prescription. When I questioned him he told me he would see me in court and hung up.  I called back and got all the information I could and immediately contacted our local Sheriff's department.  They have received several complaints on about this scam and are currently investigating.

Hope they get this guy soon!

I have to think he got my name and cell number somehow thru facebook! He called and left message saying he was Dea and i needed to return call, it was matter of importance. could barely understand what he way saying his accent was mexican.

People like this should be tracked down and castrated. They look for people to harrass and hopefully bilk $$$ from using so called bullying tactics. Too bad he doesn't show up at my house I'd show him what the end of life feels like.They can really scare the elderly and have no prblem whatsoever draing some innocent person's from stealing their life savings. I wish the Gov't could catch them but they don't! I do believe these people have worked for some pharmacy of sorts and no longer employed or still works for them but stole your address's, so they could be caught if they TRULY wanted to bust them!

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.

My mother got the call to her cell ph today, 5/17/2019 but did not answer it. It appears scammer is using same ph # long time since 2012 according to other reviews. Glad she didn’t answer. Who knows what new scam they’ve remade themselves into. They probably know the name of some legitimate DEA or federal authority person assuming that person’s identity in order to commit fraud, extortion, etc.
