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.
Some what the same story but I do not have a brother so he asked why was I lying to him. I told him that I did not have a brother and that agitated him. I hung up. I called back and he made graphic threats on my life and my family's lives. That he was going to destroy my face and put a gun in my mouth and kill me.
I received a call from this number today. They told me that my son was in an accident. He was bleeding
from his head and had to go to the hospital. I kept saying what hospital, what hospital and he told me
to send $2500 to western union. He was very believable and even told me to hold on that my son was
trying to talk but couldnt because of the accident. I was in a state of shock. When he finally would not
continue the conversation without talking about the $2500, I hung up on him. i called my son and finally reached him. It was then I realized it was a scam. I continued to call his number back for three hours. i did not do what he wanted me to do. He then said because I did not send the money, that he kiled my son and that he was dead. I called the police, They came and wrote up a report and told me that alot of people
have been scammed by this number. Dont fall for this scam. If we all know this is the person who called
us, why cant anyone do something. I just wanted people to know what is going on.It was really scarry!!
