My mother in Costa Rica got a phone call yesterday, the guy never identified himself, but she thought it was a very close friend of her that she doesnt see from long time ago, he said he was bringing a lot of things for her and said that he would give her a call when in Mexico to let her know the exact time of arrival... today, as expected she received the call and the guy said he was stuck in Guadalajara Mexico, because he had with him $28K cash and a lot of valuables with him with no invoices, so the airport authority will confiscate all his belongings unless she wired $900 or give them a CC number.
Yesterday my parents got a call saying it was my cousin Carlos we have over 20 years of not seeing, saying that would surprise and call the next morning from Mexico, where the flight would make a stopover and then give us the exact time in which it reaches the airport. My parents told me excited, my strange to me that he did not know the arrival time if it is a fact that you know in advance. This morning, they called saying "my cousin" to which I said I did not recognize the voice, he said he was stopped at customs in Mexico because he had $ 28,000 and some gifts, I contacted an official course was formally presented and I said the situation "my cousin" who had no tax and they were going to confiscate two flat screens, a laptop, money and all the gifts but had the opportunity to us to pay it from Costa Rica and and Carlos continue the journey with all "our" gifts. I immediately told him I could not, he told me with Carlos who tried to convince me to seek help from someone else, while this was happening I ran to look into the identifier from another phone that was farther away and I saw that the number of past and today the same place and were already verified the scam, I told him, the strangest thing is that you call the same number yesterday and immediately cut. The numbers were: 3315923647 and 3319194647 respectively.
