This person called my brother and asked about all our family members and he said his name was carlos? we have a family member named carlos. We called carlos and he said he never called us or my brother .
My parents got a call from someone saying he was as cousin in Mexico and said he was coming to visit. He said he would bring gifts. Then a day later called back and said they were on their way up and got into an accident and needed 800.00 to pay for the bill of a girl that got injured in the accident or he would be detained for a long time. Then he had a woman called and said oh, cousin we need at least 400 to 800. After that they had a kid call and call my mom Aunt and asked if she had the money.

My Mom first received a phone call yesterday from 333 874-9662 stating that they were a nephew from Mexico and they wanted to invest $30,000 in a trailer home here in the United States. They planned to fly into Fresno and wanted to know if we could pick him up and if he could stay a few days at our house. The person knew my Mom's name and did a great job convincing her it was a normal conversation. He told her that he had called the day before and we didn't answer, if he could get her cell number so when he arrived at the airport he had another phone number to get a hold of her at. Unfortunately, she gave the guy her cell number and told him to call when he arrived.
Afterwards, my Dad called his sister to ask how come they were not coming along with him. She said her son had no plans on coming to the States and that he was just at her house and did not make that phone call. Obviously, we realized it was a scam. I quickly looked up the number and realized it had been reported for the same story. Today we received a call from THIS number. First, on our house number, then followed on my parent's cell number (which not many people have). Now it's not the original 333 number, BUT I feel that these people are working on this together. We've reported BOTH numbers to our local authorities.
We got a call from 331 215 6027: from a lost long cousin in Mexico, stating he had vacations and wanted to come and visit, if he could stop by. We said sure.
to make a long story short, we are out 5700 dollars and they want $10,000 more.
They appear to call from 331-215-6027 and 011-52-554-996-2870. Customs in Airports, as it appears, does not ask anyone for funds to be deposited anywhere!!! if you have a long lost relative contact you, ask him personal details without providing much… before you give anymore info and funds!
Scammer!!!! Don't answer!! Acts like he knows you and your family! Tries to make u guess who he is... A cousin .... Pissed me off because he tried to take advantage of my parents. [***]!!
