Some [***] from this number called my grandfather this morning and claimed to by SGT Sam Roberts from the U.S. Marine Corps. "Roberts" said he was in Mexico City for six months to assist U.S. service members and that I was in jail because I was riding with strangers in Mexico and the car got pulled over and we all got busted with weed and my grandfather needed to wire $1350 so I could post bail. Needless to say, I'm not in Mexico, and in fact, I never have been.
The phone number being used - 819-580-2137 - is registered to someone in Quebec, Canada. I tried to find their police contact information, but of course the website is only available in French. Who the [***](s) are who are doing this scam need to be caught. They are preying on grandparents who are likely to send the money in able to help their grandchildren.
