Scammers continue to target everyone, regardless of age, gender, education or income level. Whether you are a physician or funeral director. I think this is truly the only profession that totally does not discriminate. They do not care if you draw a minimal social security check or if you are among the rich and famous.
Another of our local physicians received a call just this morning. The deceiver claimed to be from the Drug Enforcement Administration (D.E.A.). They were investigating misuse of the physicians D.E.A. number.
This is not the first time this has happened to local physicians.
POET advised the office to call the D.E.A., which they did. Later reporting back, that the D.E.A. office had advised the physician office to file a written complaint with all the details at www.ic3.gov. D.E.A. personal also stated that the D.E.A. will not call you. If you are being investigated you will either receive a registered letter or they will show up on your door step. Do not give these charlatans any of your time.
