I just got the same exact call yesterday. Me without thinking did the same and provided some names....the next day a story about the trailer they were looking to pick up erupted yet they need 500 dollars as they didnt claim their 20,000 before crossing the border....they provided a name to send the money via western union yet when asked why I couldn't call them back on that 331 number they gave an international number. Me being my suspicious self did a reverse lookup and found this. Please be aware and do not provide any details whatsoever!
The same thing happened they called me saying that its my nephew from Mexico that he was ordered this van or something online and he was coming to get it in San Antonio but thank God I didn't give out any information we found out it was a tramp but didn't fall for it.
My dad received the same call yesterday. They also followed up with a call this morning. It was the same scenario as describe above. They need $500 was on their way back from Mexico. My dad had called his brother. Lucky the his brother called back while the guy was on the phone. Of course when the caller heard this he hung up.
