I feel guilty admitting I laughed as hard as I did at your post!

They told me they had my brother hostage (I dont have a brother). I told them I cant stand my brother and to please kill him.

Just reported them to the police! This is a known ring, they should bust these puerto rican scumbags. I can say that cause im rican. How can they have their phone number and not be able to arrest them?

This is how these weaklings win. They fool people into believing that a threat is real. People panic, send them money, and the money is gone.

My niece unfortunately sent the money.  It was picked up by someone in Puerto Rico.  We filed a police report.  $850.00.  What comes around goes around.

I just get a phone call today that my son was keepnaping

they called my mother and said they had kidnapped me and tried to extort me.  we are calling the police

Don't pick up! They're trying to scam you saying one of your family members is in the hospital and asking for your money.
