855-349-2568

this number called my grandmother pretending to be me. He told her i had been arrested and was in Mexico beng held on 2500 bond. Guy became irrate when my grandmother told him she was not transferring the money. BEWARE

I called this number back to confront the guy; once I confronted him, he started cusing and calling me everyname in teh book. I told him good scam you have there..... His response was " i had her at the counter" then followed up by a number of lovely four letter words. SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM

My elderly parents live with me, and a call came through from my "nephew" stating he was arrested in Mexico while on vacation.  "He" tried to get $2000.00 from him ~ my father then remembered a scam on this level that he read in the AARP magazine ~ he told "him" he couldn't help and hung up.  Can you believe "he" called right back, but I answered, thinking I was "Gram" ... I kept him going until I asked to speak with someone of authority, and "he" said I could talk to Sgt. Ron Carter and give him credit card information for his bail and trial.  After speaking with Mr. Carter, I mentioned I wanted some sort of proof (he said he's an American Citizen that works in the U.S. Embassy in Mexico and deals with Americans in trouble there.  I asked for a number to call HIM back on; he at first gave me 1-888-901-2113; when calling this number, I received NO "professional information" only an automative recording asking if I knew the party I wanted, to enter that number.  I hung up, only to receive a call back from "Sgt. Carter" leaving another number on my answering machine: 1-855-349-2568.  I DID NOT return his call ~ at this point, I knew where ALL my nephews were at and NONE were in Mexico.  He actually called back again, I told him I knew where my nephew was ~ he stated "in a holding cell in Mexico" ~ I said "no he's not" ~ with his reply, "I have his passport here" ~ I answered "verify his name" ... He then hung up.  BEWARE ~ THEY ARE PERSISTENT !!!!!

TOTAL SCAM!!! VERY ABBUSIVE AND THREATENED ME AND MY FAMILY UNTIL THEY HEARD THE CLICKING OF MY SHOT GUN! HERE IS THE VIDEO OF IT !!!!    IT STARTS AT 7:50  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omRqgp2Pqxs

I got scammed.  About the same as above.  Nephew being arrested, etc, etc.  I don't have very much money.

I was scammed on 9-11-12 by a supposedly Sgt. John Thomas.  I was worried it was my relative in trouble, because I did not know where he was.  Who did you report this to?  Thank you.

Received such a call this morning from a Sgt Ronald Carter from the US Embassy in Cuernavaca, MX where a grandson had supposed been arrested by Mexican police & he took refuge in the Embassy.  Transferred 'supposedly' the call to the grandson who pleaded for the money ($1500, and PLEASE don't call my parents- they'll be SO-o mad that he's even in Mexico.
Gave me phone# 514-224-2630  to call him back (turns out that is a number in Montreal, Canada).  Calling back the person answering said:  'US Embassy'.  Also talked with a Sgt Oscar Winter on this.  
On calling my grandson's father, he said his son was on Scout trip in central Texas.

My mother rec'd a similar call from the same number (514-224-2630) say grandson was arrested for pot possession after being pulled over for speeding on way to hospital after a friend got killed in car accident. They gave her this number and told her not to call it until she had the full $2000 and was ready to wire it. She called me, all frantic, asking where she was going to find that kind of money. I told her I would call the number myself and was told "they were really busy and could I call Officer Winters back in 15 minutes". At this point I sent a text to my son and he was exactly where he told me he was going to be today . . . at a convention for work.
