They called saying: Cousin you don't remember me I am going to Cancun and stoping by Miami, can you pick me up at the airport. Please know that this number will try to make you believe that you know them and they need your help! SCAM SCAM
This is a scam! Tried to get information out of me pretending he was coming to visit me. Then he called back that he was in a car accident and needed money quickly.
We received a call which I answered in Spanish. The caller is artful and managed to extract a likely first name from our conversation. He speaks Spanish with the accent of a native of Spain. In our back and forth he did not get to the part where he would have tried to extract money, but I am sure this was on his agenda.
Recibimos una llamada que conteste en espanol. Quien llamo es astuto y supo extraer un nombre posible de la conversacion. Habla castellano con un acento iberico. Aunque en nuestra conversacion no llego al parte donde pide dinero, estoy seguro que esto estaba en sus planes. ES UN TIMO.
I received a call from this number on Monday 6/22/2015, at 4:54 pm.
He knew my full name. He spoke in Spanish. Probably "Central Colombian" accent. Wanted to get information out of me: Guess who is calling? I'm your nephew. Has been a long time not see you!!.
Two mistakes: I hate games and .....I have no nephews or nieces.
It SMELLED like SCAM to me, I just hang up.
Same thing happened to me today, June 28, 2015. A man called in Spanish saying he was my husband's uncle and when I said my husband had no uncles, he said he was his cousin. They tried to do this to my mom years ago. My mother's last names, as well as my husband’s, are not very common. I guess they try with people whose last names are rare to make it more believable. I am reporting this for sure.
