This number called my wife speaking Spanish saying her friend or family member was involved in a very bad car accident and he was bleeding out dying in the bronx he refused to give any other info and just hung up when I told him I didn't know anyone in the bronx

I got a call as well.  They claim to have my brother "captive".  They said that he was involved in a car accident and was seriously injured and that the person he crashed into was an avid gang member that was wanted by the police and that I should not be contacting the police about this call or my brother would be killed.  They wanted $ wired for the repair of the car.

My mother just got a call saying that my brother was held hostage. unreal.. so sad what ppl will do for money without knowing the seriousness of such a pranks.. [***]..

A stupid pathetic moron calls my mother stating her grandson was involved in a accident, and was being held captive. And that if the amount of money they were requesting wasn't sent to them he would be severely hurt or worse. They also stated not to call the police. These [***] from Puerto Rico better get a real [***] job and stop harassing the elderly in New York!! It's not funny what there doing and the damages there enduring! The Puerto Rican government should really look into the scams within this number!

A man called me speaking in spanish from this number yesterday, claiming that him and his brother were fugitives from PR and had my son captive..and had me nervous, frantic, hysterical and confused..they were threatening to kill my son and telling me I had to give them $2,500 dollars then that they would dump my son at a nearby hospital..they claimed to have cracked my son's head open with a gun and beaten him to a pulp! They wouldn't allow me to hang up stating that if I did they would kill my son as I listened on the phone. They had me on the phone for about 15-20 minutes, harassing me and intimidating me, playing with my emotions and being as cruel and violent as can be. These guys are very convincing and very intimidating. They obviously have practiced what they will say without any hesitations in their verbal abuse! I just wanted to share this to hopefully prevent it to happen to anyone else! It was truly one of the most frightening and heart wrenching day of my life! I hope they get caught and rot in Jail..or hell!!!!
