Be aware this is a scam .. They want to pretend its a family member in need and you need to wire money. Said the the US embassy in Mexico . My grandparents fell for it ..

Be aware of this scam. My father fell for the same scam yesterday.

This happened to my 85 year old mother yesterday. Said it was her grandson in jail in Mexico. She is still shaken up by this. Fortunately she did not fall for it.

My grandmother ALMOST fell for this- they even knew we called her Oma... Does anyone know how they got this information?

Called family member with same scam concerning nephew in Mexican jail needing $900 for bail. Did not work as quickly was able to identify that nephew was at work in Texas. Bought time by stating needed to confirm.
Even had someone claiming to be nephew literally by crying over a phone line. Note: poor quality of call...static.
