A man called my mother pretending to be her nephew.  He fished for a name and said he was coming to visit tomorrow.  When he called again, we asked him a couple of questions that proved he was an impostor.  He told him so and he hung up.

Somebody called my ant in Florida pretending to be me, and that I was Vacation trip to Cancun, Mexico.This person told my ant that he had the intention to stop by in the way back to visit them. Apparently and somehow this person had some information about my family names, etc. It is very disturbing to find out that there is people out there trying impersonate me, especially pretending to be a member of my family. These people are dangerous and can commit other crimes, like getting into your banking account, credit card, or social security in order to commit fraud.

We just got robbed by this guy. He had information about the family members and called our home. He said he was coming to visit and that he had a car accident. He requested a money transfer to Mexico. Unfortunately my family member beloved him and lost more than a $1000 in cash. We reported it to the police but no further action has being taken. Let's spread the word about his criminal.

Yes.
That scam  has been noted previously.  Too bad your family was unaware of it.

Here is the description:

The scammer may speak Spanish, and may target Hispanics in the USA. He attempts to convince the called person that he is a relative, and will be visiting for a few days. If the called party expresses any interest, the scammer promises to call back. When the scammer calls back, he tells the called party that something happened - he ran out of gas, or was stopped by the police, or is being held at the airport, or needs money for some other reason -- he wants you to wire the money to him immediately.

If you send money, it will disappear, along with the "relative".

A man (with Cuban accent) called my home, my wife answered and he pretended to be her nephew, he gave her my family name, and stated that is from the part of the family that lives out of town. My wife did not give more information (we are the only ones in the family living out of our towns) and when she started asking him questions he immediately hung up.

Just got a call from this guy, I was a bit suspicious because of his accent and was told more or less the same story about coming into town. He wanted my cell phone to call when he was going to pass by. Thanks God that I checked the number on line!

True, beaware! I just recieved the same phone call. Asking for my dad. My dad died 7 years ago. We didn't say he had passed. My mother and I wanted to see where the conversation lead. He said he was in Orlando and was coming for dinner. We made a few call to some realtives to confirm and then we called the cops. We are filing a report. Then i will call the local news station and make them aware. Pass the word.

My mother just got a call and man said that he was a family member saying that he need 1,500 dollars.dollars and that he was on his way to her house thank god my brother and I were at her house

A person with a Colombian accent called and asked for me,then he said he was my cousin and he is coming to visit. At this moment I believed him, but
ask for his father I recognized the voice and I told him you are not my cousin he hung up.
I am going to police and make a report

Same here! This guy has called 3 times to my house pretending to be a family member and that he is coming to town. Then he called again saying he had a car accident. Crazy how people want easy money! BEWARE.

Pretend to be nephew immediately as soon as he could not give me a name I got suspicious. Called family immediately confirmed.  

Received call from this number claiming he was my nephew, said he was coming over with wife and kids tomorrow for diner. He wanted to see me before he left town. My daughter called my nephew he is in PR not South Florida.  Told my grandson who is a Police Officer in a municipality in Florida and a report was made.  Be very careful do not provide info to no one over the telephone. Hope this person is caught and arrested!  

This guy called saying he was from Galicia Spain, which is where my family comes from. He said that he was a cousin, I told him I had no cousins, and then he said that his name was Carlos Gaytan. I told him that I had no cousins named Gaytan in Galicia, Then he said he knew that was my married name, but that he went to Galicia from Cuba (that is where I am from) I told him which side of the family he was and He told me that his name was Juan Carlos Fernandez, (Fernandez is my mother's last name) He told me that he was coming from Galicia to Miami, and that he had a stop over in Mexico, and He was coming in American Airlines flight 1787. and he would call me to go an pick him up. I asked him if he was visiting or if he was coming to stay. He said that he was coming to visit and that he would stay at the Hilton as to not be a bother. Well, if you are coming from Cuba to Galicia to Mexico and to Miami, and staying at the Hilton, you are lying pretty bad.
Beware, he asked me for my cell ph and my work ph # too.

I had exactly the same thing last night and early this morning saying that he was our nephew and was calling from Cancun and wanted to give us a surprise visit. The caller ID was +331 that is a outbound only are code from Mexico. I confronted him this morning when he called and realized that we knew he was an impostor.

my mother received the same call yesterday and today morning  are code 331 saying that was a nephew in cancu traveling to miami.. the people are so stupid they forget that the phones has caller id and u can search the number online ...so be carefull with those calls they are impostors tryignt to still money ....

We got scammed too.  :  (  I also received calls from this number and another one, 331-381-0239. They called several times pretending to be family coming over for a short visit. Then they called back claiming to be in an accident, and they needed money to be sent. They asked my mother a lot of information about my cousin's family, and she unfortunately gave them the info.  I called my family to warn them to of this scam. Unfortunately we sent more than $1,000 and they called back asking for more money to fix their car so they can get more cash.  The police came over between their calls, but it doesn't seem like they will do anything. :  (

Yesterday my aunt got a call from a guy claiming to be her nephew. He seemed very sweet and loving, almost excessively so, considering she hasn't seen him since he was a little boy. Even stranger, he spoke with a Colombian accent, as opposed to a Cuban one. After expressing an interest in meeting her he said he would call back again.

This morning he calls and says he's on his way to Miami, and that he'd like to see her. My aunt calls her cousin, who denies knowing the guy, and so we do some digging on the internet and find this page. Sure enough, minutes later he calls my aunt claiming to have gotten into an accident. He then adds that in order to be able to see his sister in Mexico (who has cancer) he'll need $1,400.00. My aunt starts to question him regarding the holes in his story, and when finally she calls him on his bluff he hangs up.

Don't let this guy scam you!

P.S. Unfortunately, Miami-Dade police had no better advice for us than to "just hang up the phone." So obviously the guy is still out there.

This number called my house yesterday and today twice. We called the police. He is an impostor saying he will pass by. Obviously, we don't know him.
