Person called me acting like he knew me. I had NO CLUE who it was, he was not requesting any $$ but said he knew me from Tucson, AZ. I do not know anybody there!
Smiliar number called me 331-291-6024 posing as my cousin, and said he was on his way from mexico then hung up. Called back and said he got stoped by a check point they found a gun in his truck and officers will make a deal with him. They needed a few hundred to get out of his situation. I believed him only because he had all they names in the family rite and also he said not to say anythiing to his family becuz they would be ashamed of him<-- He really is a good guy & his father would have been pissed if this happend. I told my mother and she panicd as well sent $300 to an "officer" who said to send him the money. Then they called back saying they will not release him they wanted $1,500 or he will get thrown in jail. I had called my uncle after the money was sent only to find that my cousin was not comming to the US and was at home fine. I tryed to get my money back but it was too late operator told me it had been cashed in * MONTERREY - NUEVO LEON *. IF someone has any information on who this is or could be please let me know they scammed me they knew all my familys names & I want to catch these DiCks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Victum of SCam. I am so sorry they got you. You were a kind sole and were concerned for what you thought was a family member and wanted to help. This is there game. They get information on the net (Facebook) and then try to locate you via the white pages with the information on the net. If you have FB be very weary and block all information so no outsiders can see anything. Once they have information on you they try and get you off guard with some sob story and their calls always have a sense of urgency so when they call they do not even give you time to think. They prey on the elderly and this is who they try to track down. They are scum.
