I just got a call from this number.  They are really good at making themselves pass as a family member.  What threw me off is he had my family name, he said is this the family _______, said he was my nephew.  I asked him about or tio Armando (which we do not have) and he said he was fine that he would send pictures.  At that point I hung up.

Do not even talk to them , they want info on family and relatives to suck money from you .
Ask them where they are and you will send help with local police that can help them.
They claim to be coming to visit and of course are detained or held for whatever excuse
Suits there scam. Then ask for money with promise to pay back 3 times the loan scam
Family is not a bank they don't need to talk you into helping or lending money.
Avoid avoid avoid did I mention AVOID !. Hope this helps

Someone please get this [***] Mexican and arrest him.

It's a SCAM!!!   Called my mother's number last night with the same story.  She, beleiving it then gave them my cell number.  After a conversation with him, same story.....stuck at the border, need some cash to get across, can we wire some $$, he will double it when he arrives in US.   He gave me limited family information and then without knowing I confirmed names for him.  (Building up his facts for the next caller).  BEWARE!

These people call, speaking in Spanish, and act like they are your family member. They asked for personal information, such as names of other family members. They called twice, first saying they were a son and had gotten a large money bonus and were on their way to see the family. Second call was in the morning, they began asking who they were talking to and stated they were stuck in TJ airport. They stated they needed money to get out. There were at least two male callers, no background noise and the callers sounded fluent in Spanish. The number they called from was 331-807-8862. The area code is originally from Illinois. But who knows where the call originated from. Be wary of scams like this. They pray on those who are gullible and easily convinced. Inform local athurities and tell the callers police have been notified and if they need help to contact the local police department. The callers never became violent or threatening. But still be wary.
