A man going by the name of Lt. John Lewis from the "DEA" called me on 6/29/2012 telling me that an internet order placed by me 6 months ago had been confiscated by USCustoms and that there would be an immediate warrant for my arrest as well as a search warrant of my home if I did not send immediately money via Western Union. I followed his directions because I was scared to death of being arrested even though I did not recall any such prescription order. During the next 2 days, 6/29/2012-6/30/2012, I followed his directions to pay alledged fees to the Dominion Republic via Western Union to total right at $10,000.00. I know now that I have been scammed out of this money but do not know what to do from this point to report this scam or possibly see any of my money returned. I am a widow and I am sick about this whole scam and have had to visit my doctor to be put on high blood pressure medication over this scam. Please advise me of my next action to get this scam stopped.
Thank you,
Pam Patterson
