Scams reportedly calling city residents demanding money to avoid DEA raid

If somebody calls your house claiming to be a DEA agent or from some other agency and threatens to raid your house unless you pay up a sum of money -- it's a scam.

Apparently, this is an ongoing scam and the Batavia PD is warning residents not to fall for it.

"The Batavia Police Department would like remind citizens to not provide personal information or send money to individuals over the phone," states the press release.

If your stupid enough to pay for this reason maybe you shouldn't have money. And is this the best excuse a scammer could come up with to get money from people. Wow. Stupid going after stupid.

In this case, if you capitulate, DEA stands for the DUMB-ASS ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION
