冒充药管局 DEA 的人，骗取个人资讯，银行信息

 

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Drug Enforcement Administration issued a warning Wednesday about scammers who are impersonating DEA agents to steal other people’s money and personal information.

According to the agency, some people living in Florida have fallen victim to the scam. People are receiving phone calls by someone threatening them with arrest if they don’t wire transfer thousands of dollars.

Mike Dubet, DEA assistant special agent in charge in Jacksonville, says agents will never call to tell someone they’re under investigation.

“Our way of contacting a person is not going to be via phone and letting them know that,” Dubet said. “We would go in person, identify ourselves as a DEA agent and then have a conversation with that person.”

Dubet said that two weeks ago, a scammer called his cellphone pretending to be a DEA agent and told him:

“The DEA was looking for me. There was a warrant for my arrest and I needed to call back a number,” Dubet said.

Dubet called the number back and says he was instructed by the man to give his Social Security number and bank routing number to verify the investigation.
