I recd a call from this number. The caller was asking for money to damages he had caused with his vehicle.He claim he was a relative from Mexico.I asked for his particulars and asked him to call me back in 5 minutes.When called back I told him that I had verified the information and that the info he gave was incorrect.He hung up.I wish there was a way to report this type of behavior to proper authorities.Any suggestions.

8-5-12 Recibi una llamada de un hombre segun tenia mi sobrino, que habia tenido un accidente en Monterrey y que necesitaba $300 para darle a la persona con la que choco. Me dijeron que mandara el dinero a una tal "Georgina Alejandra Marquez Flores" en San Juan Tonala, Jalisco y mande el dinero por Moneygram y recogieron el dinero y me siguieron llamando para mandarles mas. Cuano me comunique con mi tia en mexico me dijo que su hijo esta alli fue cuando me di cuenta que era mentira y que me habian estafado. Hable a Moneygram y puse la queja de que me habian estafado. Llamen al la compania que mandaron el dinero para que  blocken a la persona recibiendo el dinero y ya no podra esa persona recibir dinero mandado por Moneygram o western union, pero tienen que llamar a la compania que utilisen para que sepan que han sido estafados. Antes de mandar dinero asegurense que el familiar que segun necesita dinero realmente lo necesita, hablen con su familia antes de mandar dinero porque al mandar el dinero la policia no puede hacer nada para ayudarte, no se dejen estafar!! A mi ya me paso, pero no me vuelve a pasar otra vez. Mucho cuidado con estos perros estafadores!!

my family received a call from this number and the person said he was an uncle in Mexico that needed money because he had been in a car accident. He was asking for $800 to cover for the damage done on the vehicle. I immediately contacted our real uncles family were they stated that he was at work. Good thing we caught this fraud before anyone sent the money.

You are the victim of the family emergency scam as warned by the FTC here http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt111.pdf  Report to the Internet Crime Complaint Center http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG, as appropriate.

So I get this call from this number and he was saying that he was my cousin, but since I don't talk to my dad side of the family a lot I thought it was true, at first he was saying that he was in Mexico and that if we needed anything from there because you know a lot if things are cheaper in Mexico and he was looking for my dad but since my dad wasn't home he called like 5 times and didn't picked up, so this morning he called around 8 and was asking for my dad one more time, well since my dad wasn't home he hung up and called around 10:52 am since he didn't get a hold of him he said that he needed to talk to me and I was busy and I said no, well he said that he was still in Mexico and that he got into a car accident and he hit this guy that was in a motorcycle and this guy didn't care about calling the police because he wasn't from the area so he just wanted money and my "cousin" said that he didn't had enough money that he had to go to the bank and get it but the guy that was  supposedly hit didn't wanna let him go get the money that if I could talk to him, and well I told  to him that he didn't believe in him why would he believe me? He was like well talk to him and then he said or do you have $200 or $300 dollars that I can borrow so you can help me out, and I said that I didn't have 3 dollars do he just said "Ok" then hung up he didn't said bye or anything like that...he tried to scam me!!! Stupid guy!!!
