Report to the Internet Crime Complaint Center http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG, as appropriate.

333-749-7805  The same problem, they start to talk that they are family and they start to ask for more information, your name and what other people do you know in the states or in the south. Always the same they never identify at the beginning. Be careul.

Tengan cuidado con este tipo de engaños. Si no se identifica al principio es probable que estan buscando informacion para ligarte con otros problemas.
