I was told my grandson was in jail in mexico. Knew his name & mine. I was instructed to Go to western Union and send $1300.00. Voice was similar to my grandsons and the person begged me not to tell his mom. I called his mom & he was taking a shower. I won't answer the phone and so far they called 6 times. Stated his name was Burt Williams and if they didn't get the cash they would keep my grandson for up to 6 weeks.says he helps jailed Americans.
My father just got a call like this stating that my son was in jail in mexico. Luckily he refused and called all he knew to verify. Even called the Mexican embassy. They said was a scam. The scammers called back and my father started to be smart with them and he heard a few people (10-12) people in back ground laughing. I am sorry you got taken. Please check all you can before ever sending money to anyone!

As the previous post, a young man who sounded like my grandson , called to say that he was in prison in Mexico and would be detained if I did not wire $1392 to him Via Western Union , Mexico City. I spoke to a man who claimed to be an embassy Officer ! Very slick. But I called my grandson and spoke to him at work. Clearly he wasn't in Mexico. Don't be fooled!
