[Deb]

Here's how the scam works: Someone will call you and identify him or herself as an FDA special agent or another kind of law enforcement official. You'll be told that purchasing drugs over the Internet or telephone is illegal and be threatened with prosecution unless a fine or fee—ranging from $100 to $250,000—is paid. If you refuse to pay up, the caller threatens to search your properties, arrest or deport you, put you in jail, and even physically harm you.
