===============================================
Dear Cheryl, I don't know whether this would be of interest but I
nearly got caught up in a scam. This is what basically happened. We
got a phone call Saturday from the States which my wife answered.
The person phoning said that he was my nephew and he wanted to visit
us and she then answered no problem. Steven is a nephew I have not
seen for 25 yrs. She then put him onto me and he said he was Steven
and not suspecting anything I said great come down. He then phoned
back and organized his ticket while talking to me for Sunday
supposed arrival time at 11:45am. Sunday morning I get a call at 9
am and he says he is at San Jose airport and when I questioned to
him as to why he was early he claimed he got an earlier flight but
that he had a major problem in that he had brought in $27,000US and
they had arrested him as he was only allowed $10000 and had
confiscated the money and could I speak to the Custom Officer who
then came on the phone speaking with a very
similar accent to Steven. This person then gives me a long story
about him committing a very serious crime and that another agency
had taken the money and that they had Steven locked up in a high
security area and that I would not be able to enter and talk to any
of the authorities unless a fine of $15690 pesos was paid [as I had
asked to have a meeting with the Customs and Steven] and that I must
answer some questions to prove Steven is telling the truth questions
like his fathers, brother and sisters names, etc. I answered them
and was told to go and pay the fine as they were happy he was
telling the truth. I told them to take the money out of the $27000
and was told that was not possible as that was in the hands of the
other agency and that I must pay this fine into a bank like Bancomer
but I said that's not possible as it is Sunday and he said no
problem I can pay it at Walmart or Elektra. Now I was suspicious and
asked for the government agency and account number. In
the meantime I asked for Steven's flight # and airline as no flights
from Dallas come in first thing in the morning and was told to mind
my own business as they don't have to give that info and the guy was
now getting aggressive. I insisted on him giving me the Walmart
account name and #, he then gives me a persons name and a number and
says I must give him my bank account details as they have to release
the money to an account as I cannot give it in cash. I refused and
put the phone down I must have had another 20 calls which I did not
answer and to this date have had no further calls The whole thing
was a scam to get me to pay the $15690 pesos and get my bank details
If anybody phones you claiming to be a relative or to have arrested
a relative don't give them a name or any information regarding your
family as they immediately use that and if they phone you using a
USA cell phone not a local line be suspicious I think they got my
information off of FACEBOOK
as FACEBOOK notified me of a suspicious site when checking it, it
was a USA site I know this is a bit long winded but it went on for
some time so if it is of interest please just put in what you think
is relative Thanks Jimmy Smith
(Jimmy.....yes, I think it's very interesting and thank you for
telling us. I thought these things only happened to "other" people!
Cheryl)
