This happened to my father within the past week. Unforutunatly my mom threw a name and he said that was him when he called saying he wrecked we send money. Then the next day he called saying he needed money to pay a mechanic. we sent that too. then we couldnt come in contact. then when we finally did he told my dad he was no nephew of his. NOT COOL
Got a call last night someone claiming he was a cousin asked to visit. He prompted my husband to give him a name he asked then agreed to a name of a cousin that no one has seen in 20 yrs. He said he would call the next day when he crossed the mexican border. We relized it was a scam he called agian 4 times but we didnt answer
On Thursday, 11-8-12 my mom got a call from an unknown number, claiming it was a cousin who was coming to visit us from Mexico. He asked if he was welcome to stay in our home for a few weeks. Also that he would come by plane or bus and would let us know. Friday 11-9-12 they called my dad that he was being held at an airport nearby because of some kind of seal/document and needed $450.My cousin is a BORN US citizen that was studying at a major university in Mexico. My dad was at the airport looking for him for 4 hours, being so good-willed and gullible, he asked for help at the airport-- never thought to verify with family in Mexico. It was the scariest moment when my mom's family and cousin confirmed that they never called and were safe at home.
My mom received a call on Saturday from a person stating he was my dad's cousin. He said he had flown in from VeraCruz to Tijuana and apparently he failed to report a large amount of money when he left VeraCruz so he now had to pay $2,000 in taxes. He harassed my mom telling her he needed the funds and when he arrived at their home he would pay them the $2,000 plus and extra $2,000 for her troubles. She ended giving him my number and continued to plead that he need the money. I then informed him that I had to think about helping him but would need to call him back at the number he called from....Well that was the last we heard from this person.
