YES!!! ALL the same [***] was said to me. DEA, gonna arrest me, i can "settle" the charges, etc. by wiring them money for legal fees, etc.
i have had a woman call me, can't recall her name, but she was RUDE & screamed at me. the first time i heard from her/them, i WAS scared, the common sense set in. for one, you are NOT called by phone to be told that you will be arrested OR send money to fix a legal problem. c'mon! now this thomas herrigan (or whatever it is) guy has been calling me for ages & i know it's a scam, but still you wonder wth? HOW do they get your info & all of that. i did just call back & get their phony voice mail, saying they are the DEA, BUT i knew that the extension number he gave me would be set up on their phone system, which it's not, it's just one basic voice mail, so that's another tip off.
i SO agree that the govt, local & federal SHOULD be doing something about all these scammer [***] con men, rip-off artists, professional liars. i too have read & heard of MANY people losing their $ to such things and that is a travesty & that IS illegal & yet no, the govt spends money on stupid [***] things (as so eloquently described above in one post about the squirrels, etc.:P) & they are CONSTANTLY trying to stop people from getting LEGAL medication etc. while there are scammers out there trying to scare the [***] out of people to ROB THEM!! hey authorities, why not do something about that? instead of wasting your time and OUR money on people who have LEGITIMATE problems? it's ridiculous!
