ALERT – Scam Targeting DEA Registrants & Other Health Professionals

From Texas Medical Board – February 5, 2020

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) reports that health professionals have been targeted by criminals posing as DEA agents.

In some instances callers may claim to be employees with the Texas Medical Board, DEA, FBI or other law enforcement entity and may even attempt to spoof agency phone numbers or send documents on official-looking letterhead demanding money. 

Please know the TMB would never call and make such requests for sensitive information over the phone or send demand letters for money to reinstate licenses or threaten the arrest of licensees. The TMB does not suspend licenses at the direction of the DEA, FBI or other federal entity. Additionally, the TMB has no authority to issue, cancel, or influence arrest warrants, as some scams have indicated.
