They called me and pretended to be my cousin form Mexico, they knew my husband's name, my address and phone numbers.. then my cousin supposedly was here at Los Angeles airport and had not declared over 10,000 that he was bringing into the states and they transferred me to a supposedly Mexican official here that would help him and return his documents and will avoid a record if I sent the taxes that should have been paid before he left Mexico to an official in Mexico. It was all a scam and I lost 2,000 dollars!!
I received a call from these [***]#### who claimed to be my cousin in chicago, said he had gotten into a car crash and didnt have any insurance. Since my cousin doesnt speak good spanish i was translating and see if we can come into an agreement with the man without involving police, he said the deductible was 1850 and my cousin only had 900 on him. They wanted me to send the other half and I almost believed it cuz he knew my name and called me by a nick name only family members call me but when he started talking perfect spanish i put them on mute making them think i was going to write the info down, decided to call my other cousin and ask him to call my real cousin and it just happend he was at a pancake house eating. After that I hung up on them and they called back. I went off on them and told them if they wanted money to put their lazy [***] to work. I was so pissed off I told them everything you can think of. Do not fall for this scam!

They called today. He claimed to be my cousin from mexico. Which we hadn't talked to in years and he said he was on the airport in Madison. That he needed our address to come to. My mom thought it was him and gave him my address. I find it extremely weird that he knew so much information about my family tho. He said he was getting a cab. He called back and said he couldn't get his bags from the airport because he had 23000 dollars in it and they questioned him about it. And he wanted us to talk to the agent he was with. That's when I knew it wasn't him. I asked him to tell me how he used to call me when I was little and he didn't respond. Then my mom told me he got deported and that the guy I was talking to was not him. I hung up on him. Then called my cousins mom she gave me his number. I called him and he's in mexico. And told me to do a report on these scamming individuals.
