These calls are classic family‑impersonation scams that exploit emotional ties and limited Spanish‑English fluency. Callers repeatedly claim to be a cousin, aunt, or uncle arriving from Mexico, often mentioning a border delay or a sudden injury to pressure victims into sending money. They harvest personal details—names, addresses, even carrier info—through caller‑ID spoofing and data‑broker leaks, then use that knowledge to build credibility. Never share financial information or wire funds to anyone who contacts you unexpectedly, even if they seem to know family members. Hang up, verify the claim through a known channel, and report the number to your carrier and local fraud authorities. Staying skeptical and cutting the call early are the best defenses.
