We would like to make you aware of a public scam that is taking place
The Drug Enforcement Administration is warning the public that there are criminals posing as law enforcement personnel, including DEA agents, as part of an extortion scheme. Victims are contacted by phone by the impersonators who attempt to convince them that they have purchased drugs illegally and that action will be taken unless they pay a fine. Please visit the below link for more information on the scam as well as an online incident reporting form.

Anyone stupid enough to believe they purchased drugs when they didn't by someone on the phone deserves to "pay a fine". Think about it for a second, do you really think any type of law enforcement would call you on the phone instead of question you in person about ANY illegal activity? These are the same people that would pay the IRS when they call you to tell you you owe back taxes. we have become a society of idiots with no common sense!!
