I got a call today about noon on my voice mail, thick accent, Det. Robert Foley division 38, badge #N33419 and my case # 014215010. He said he worked with the DEA and he was calling to tell me that I am on a list of individuals who are being investigated for purchasing illegal medications online. He was very mean and aggressive. He told me that I am defendant #86 and they have all my information that shows that I ordered pain medication from the DR but I never received it because it was conficated and found to contain 40% cocaine. That means I am involved in illegal drug trafficing and I will be flown to SF to appear in front of a judge Snyder tomorrow morning then be extridited to the DR for sentencing. But since I was such a good person with no prior arrests I had three other options. He would pause and talk on what sounded like a police radio giving orders regarding my case, "stand by." OK. I could go into the Defendant release program and go on house arrest for two years, or pay a fine and report any drug co.s that try to solicit my business. If I didnt want to pay the fine then I could get a federal lawyer....plead not guilty. I told him I would pay the fine and then everything would be dropped. What was the fine. $2,000.00. I said I couldnt get that kind of money together today so he dropped it to $1,000.00 and a payment plan of $100 monthly for 20 months. "Now dont try to runaway cuz people have tried this and we will get you." He also said my phones are being tapped and there are officers nearby ready to search my house and take me away. He then told me that I needed to go to Rite Aid (he had the location and knew how long it would take me to get there) and wire thru Western Union the $1,000. He said he would call me every 20 minutes to see how I was doing. I said ok and hung up. The first thing I did was to call the local police and they knew all about this scam. Then I went online and found numbers to call and report the event. The number he gave me was 209-487-0344 DEA contact. I was to send the money to Luis Rodriguez, Punta-Cana, Dominican Republic. That doesnt sound like a district atty address to me. I got a call from him and I told him that I had called the extortion hotline for the DEA and I now knew this was a phone scam and the phone went dead. Evil scum of the earth...this is what free enterprise has delivered to our doorstep from the bowels of hell.
