I recieved this same call today from a 2022390426 number on my cell but I didn't answer...they left a message saying he was Lt William Rice stating that he was from the Drug Enforcement Administration office in Washington DC. He said to call him back as soon as possible regarding a package of medicine they had confi****ed from overseas. I googled the number and saw it was a scam....Called back and surprisngly it was this "Lt William Rice" that answered the phone. (they must never have tried to get through to a governemtn agency!!) I told him I was returning a call. He asked my name & I told him and he told me that I need to have an attorney because illegal drugs were confi****ed from 2008-09.  Before he said any more (I kinda wished I would've let him go on!), I told him that I was with the county police force and that we have been trying to catch to scammers for the last 2 yrs and I wanted to hook up the DEA so we could get our share of the collar!  I asked him who the US attorney handling the case was and he said he would have to get back with me.  I then asked which office of DEA he was with and he just said Ditrict of Columbia (like there's only one DEA office there).  When I asked for the person in charge of the case, he just ***g up!!!  Fight fire with fire!!!!I have been getting  10-15 calls/day for the last year or so that are either ****up, or they leave a msg, or they want to let me know that my Rx is ready to ship but they need a Credit card number...figured it is all part of same sort of scam...I tried to get some sction with the phone company, but the numbers that show up on my phone do not come across on my bill so they do not have a record of the harrassing calls. If someone has any idea to get these calls to stop, I'd like to know...the Do NOT call registry does not work...I have tried that a few times.

I received this same message stating that I had ordered ambien online. They said it was illegal and intercepted and that I had to pay a fine or go to prison. i ***g up and haven't heard from him since.

Wow I just go this message as well.  Number was 551-333-8220.  I once recieved another call like this from a different number. This is a total scam.

I received the same phone call but the phone # was 551-333-8220.

I recieved a call at 5:13 today from a 2022390426 number on my cell but I didnt answer...they left a message saying he was Lt William Rice stating that he was from the Drug Enforcement Administration office in Washington DC. He said to call him back as soon as possible regarding a package of medicine they had confi****ed from overseas. I wrote the info down and called back from a blocked number. Surprisingly it was this "Lt William Rice" that answered the phone. He asked how could he help me and I said I dont know you called me...I gave him my first name and he said that he has on record that I ordered Phentermine 37.5mg online from overseas without a precription. My heart sank because I know I wanted to order some but could never find it online. He said that this was a federal offense and if found guilty could face 6-18months in prison. I said I have never ordered that stuff online so how did you get my info, he said do you know what Phentermine is...its a weight loss drug. I said I know what it is but can you tell me when I placed this order. He got loud and said so you are telling me that you never ordered Phentermine online before, I said no I haven't and he said well contact your lawyer and he can find out that information for you and then he ***g up the phone. I s****ed to panic because all I could think about was having to go to jail and leave my husband and kids to fend for themselves and not to mention being fired from a fortune 500 company. I was getting ready to contact the legal department at work but before I did I wanted to look this number up in google to see if I could find out a company it was****ociated with and I stubled accross like 6 different links that mentioned the same type of message and the exact same name of the so called Lt. WOW!!! I am reporting this number asap!

I  received a call from 2022390426, claimed he was DEA supervison Richard King and that I bought illegal drugs over the internet and I could fight it in court and lose and end up in jail for 9 mos or pay a fine of $950. I knew this was a scam  but played along - said I couldn"t afford that so he lowered it to $200 and said sent to 1600 Washington Ave  suite 107 in the DR to a Julio Santana-after mailed call back with reference #. I guess he's still waiting for the call that will not come. Jokes on them.

EVERYONE,IT IS A TOTAL SCAM.  I GOT CALLS FROM 865.332.0167 AND 202.239.0426.  I CALLED THE DEA AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE GOTTEN SEVERAL CALLS ON THIS.  I AM GOING TO THE POLICE AND THE DEA TO INVESTIGATE.  I WANT TO ARREST THESE *******S FOR DISRUPTING MY LIFE BY HARASSING PHONE CALLS.  I EVEN LEFT THESE SONS OF B***H  *******S A MESSAGE TELLING THEM THE DEA IS COMING AFTER THEM AND DEPORT THEIR SORRY A**ES.I SUGGEST YOU ALL DO THE SAME....CALL AND LEAVE HARASSING MESSAGES TELLING THEM THEY ARE BEING ARRESTED ANY DAY NOW.  THE POLICE AND DEA ARE COMING FOR THEM!!!!WE SHOULD S**** A SUIT A***NST THEM!!!  LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS.

Just received a call from an Officer Jason Hale. He requested me to send $850 within an hour to the address by the name of Edison Joseph, and call him back with the ref#. If I didn't do so I would serve time in my local facility. I called a good friend who is chief of police in local area and he said to call my city police station. And file a report. It's all to fishy. Scared the **** out of me though..

omh i just got the same call today! Super shady! Thank God for google! Word for word the same thing!!!

Same thing here around 11 am Eastern Time on April 27, 2010.  This thread is a real relief!

i rec'd the exact same call word for word last week as you did. It alarmed me at first , because the way my luck goes it would be me cat****g the runt of it for so****ing I had no clue of what was happening

Got several calls from people claiming to be from the dea office in knoxville tennesee. 865-332-1067.  Unless I wired via western union 850.00 to julio santana in the dominican republic i would have to appear in court because they claim they intercepted a package of medication with my name and address on it from the dominican republic. they claimed I could pay an 850.00 fine or go to prison for 60 days.  Since I did not order any drugs, never had any contact with the dominican replublic I knew this was a scam.  I contacted the federal authorities who told me this scam has been going on for quite some time.  They feds said they have a case opened and agreed to e-mail me a questioner to fill out and return. They also told me I would most likely continue to get calls.  beware of this scam.  the dea or fbi do not sork this way.

4/22 Same thing happened to me wanting $900 said there was a warrant out for my arrest in knoxville TN for buying diet pills over sea. I contacted Knoxville police and they called the number and the man answered and ***g up on them. I also contacted DEA and they said it was a scam...I wish they would catch this ****!

Received the same call as mentioned above, After reading the comments I'm going to have some fun with this guy. I love a goose chase.

My wife got the same message on her voice mail only from a Lt. William Rice, DEA.   It's a scam and this is just a new number than he was using last fall.    There's a longer thread about this scam using the number 410-929-8358.   Sounds like he's just mixing up the scam with new names and numbers.

I got a call said I had 1 and 1/2 hours to wire money to dominican republic or I would have to do 3 to 9 months jail time. He stated that I had to pay as charges were being filed to day would not answer any questions about himself or ID

Got the same phone call from a Lt. William Rice in the Knoxville, TN. office. Spoke to him for a while and had me shaken up. Said I was going to have to appear in court on March 30th or I could pay afine of $1500.00 to the Dominican Republic who had brought the charge a***nst me. Made it sound like he was goin to court today to convict people for similar charges and I should get that money wired to Officer Julio Santana, 1600 Washington Ave., Suite 107, Moca, Dominican Republic,00809 within the hour. Actually was ****** enough to wire the money and called back "Lt. William Rice" with the reference number. I c****ed my mind after talking to a friend about 20 minutes later and I was able to cancel the transaction and got my money back but still paid the transaction fee. Anyway I beat them to the punch cause not 5 minutes later I got a call from a D.R. # claiming to be Officer Julio Santana. Since then they have called me at least 25 times today from various #'s. I contacted my local DEA office and said this is a scam. Dont send these s***bags anything and warn your friends.

I too received a voice message from 865-332-0167.  Man stated to be a Lieutenant with the Nashville TN Drug Enforcement Agency and was calling regarding confi****ed drugs.  Have not called back yet.  Going to do more research before doing so.

Person states they are a DEA agent in Chattanooga tennesee. There is no DEa office there and another person claimed same number called to nickname barbie with same DEA representation I looked up number elsewehere says it is not from any dea agency.

Got a call from a man claiming to be DEA agent in Nashville.Claimed I bought drugs illegally over seas.I have no idea what he is talking about.Must be a SCAM..***g up and never heard from him a***n.
