Threatening Phone Calls - Extortion

Type: Extortion scam via telephone

Victim

Location: Riberas
Description:

I just received a very creepy phone call from "Private Caller." A Spanish-speaking man asked for my husband by name. I said (in my best Spanish) he wasn't home and offered to take a message. The man wanted my husband's cell number; I said he didn't have one. Then he asked if I was his wife and proceeded to say a long message that I only got snippets of. I didn't understand most of it, but the message included our home address and something about cutting off heads. At that point I said "no entiendo" and hung up.

Webmaster Comments: Get Caller Id (free with Telmex 599 package) - and only answer the telephone when you recognize the number. We have received a comment that sometime calls from the US are displayed on that persons caller id as "unknown caller" or something else unrecognizable - so this may not work for everyone..
