The DEA is sounding the alarm after receiving reports of scammers fraudulently claiming to be someone from the IRS or DEA.
Some scammers will call individuals and claim that a rental car has been found in their name filled with drugs. These are lies and scammers are just trying to get your personal information.
“We are finding that these scams are both domestic and their foreign bad actors as well, who are running these scams,” DEA agent Brian McNeal said. “These extortionists call people up and pretend to be DEA agents and we just want to get the word out that these guys are fake.”
