He called me Tia (Aunt), I don't have a nephew that would only speak Spanish to me. I don't speak Spanish fluently so I suspected it was a mistake or a scam. I looked this up and sure enough it is a scam. Don't let it happen to you.
yo recibi una llamada de un sujeto hasiendose pasar por un sobrino mio que hacia mucho tiempo que no veia y que biene de mexico, despues me llama para decirme que choco y que no traia aseguranza y que el otro sujeto inbolucrado en el axidente para no llamar supuestamente a la policia le pedia $1500.00. dollares y que si yo le podia prestar mill porque el solo tenia $500. y cundo le empese a hacer mas preguntas de su mama, que si ya le habia llamado para decirle y que donde esta ella entonses colgo.
exactamente lo mismo me paso a mi ese numero es de Mexico, pero no se de que parte, me dijeron exactamente lo mismo del accidente, le dije dame 10 min. para conseguirte el dinero y colgaron, y en ese rato marque a Mexico para ver si era cierto y mis sobrino estaba alla en Mexico,a los 5 min. me marcaron de nuevo y les segui la corriente y se dieron cuenta que los estaba cuenteando y me colgaron.
Yea this fool called my dad and said he was his nephew,his name was Arturo and he was coming to visit his father that he has not seen in years. He wanted to surprise him so we could not tell the family. my dad told him he was going to work but he could call me so I could meet him on the way here. He called and said he was on his way then called me again and said that he got into a accident that he was ok but he hit a car and he did not want the police involved, he had a check but he could not cash it. The guy that he wrecked with wanted $1900 and the amount that he had in cash was 900 so if I could let him borrow $1000.
I was thinking yea right,I told him that I was broke and that the only one who had money was his father so lets call him. He said let me make a few phone calls and I will call you right back.
Oh yea he said he was nervous and scared, yea I bet so this guy does his living by scamming poor people and making them feel bad, one day he is going to get caught.
