My sister received the same call on Saturday: “your brother was in accident and needed money”. This scam is planned in Dominican Republic, Punta Cana. They get the information from the hotels there, Be careful please. Do not fall for this scam and not provide personal information at the time of check in.
Caller said my brother was in an accident and ran into his bike that he kidnapped my brother and that we needed to pay him $2000 as ransom and if we didn't pay him the $$ that he will kill him. I called the police department and they said it was a scam.
We just received a call from this number. My stepdaughter was called and told her brother was in an accident. She gave them my number and I told the guy off and hung up. He said he was Edgar
I just received the same call, claiming my brother was in an accident and was being help captive. Trick is dont give them a name, let them give you their name. I called back he actually picked up and I had a nice exchange of words with him. The guy is Puertorican.
