Share this video to family, friends and people you care about, or you can just educate them about this.
Thanks for watching, don't forget to leave a like.
My friend got it once I would probably call them and troll them tell you the truth and berating them for being stupid enough to believe that people would believe them to drug cartel would call them over the phone are people really that dumb that they think people would fall for the scam I'm sure some people do but I doubt the drug cartel make a home call you think they would put actions into something instead of morning I'm pretty sure I doubt they give warnings
I probably would do that though then when they make further threat I would be like yeah right as if and then I would just hang up
Hm, maybe not a good idea as adviced on the video. But if you will.
Have at it.
Lol... People fall for it depending on their location. Some locations are actually filled with cartel, so they might be scared when they receive this
I got a call asking about a car crash I was in. I haven’t been in a car crash before so I knew it was a scam. I told them I lost my voicebox in the crash. They didn’t even hang up they tried to keep it going 😂
😂Most of the scammers are just ridiculous
Thank you so much for posting this informative video this just happened to me this morning and I did report it to the police... I didn't know what to do because they were threatening my family and they sent my address and told me that I had to give them $5,000 or they would kill me and my family..... I have been an absolute wreck all morning I've been receiving threatening texts graphic pictures and videos.... But as I've been doing a little research online I'm starting to see what is actually going on.... Thank you so much for posting this very informative video God bless you and you've made my day a lot better!.... Keep up the good work boss and again thanks for posting!

Thanks for this ❤️ I’ve been stressing out all day cartel scam
Hey, I'm getting this text message and calls from different numbers
@pankaj-eu6gf best to check if your identity has been stolen or if someone has sold your number etc. Check the description and get Aura... But I think you should mostly ignore them. But you can stop it finally.
You're doing amazing work man.
Thank you. Means a lot me
Thanks for this trick update. I haven't received such. The graphic images can be scary sometimes. Anyways, now we know.
Keep it up, Boss.
Thank you Tayo
Lol I think it’s hysterical ! I text them back . Come meet me I’ll pay your cab and send u home in a plastic bag !! They never called again ! 😂😂
Thank you, a lot. I've never heard of this before. I know that there are scams similar to this, but I've never heard of this particular one. I will be aware of this scam.
I am glad you found this useful. Share this to people you know, they need to be aware of this. I don't know why this Scam started surfacing again after it started late last year.
Thank you for joining us
My brother got this. It was upsetting but he realized it’s a scam.
I got one of these I asked him where he wanted to meet. I wanted to introduce him to my friend Mr. Glock. No response.
Haven’t had this one yet as I’m in England, but I’ll still share
Thank you dear. You are welcome. Pls Share, we never know who might need this. Glad to see you here

Thanks for sharing your experience. Just ignore them and be safe. Welcome, I would love to see more of your comments
Are you okay
I just got one, thank you for explaining to me.
Same to me it was multiple people
Grate work get the word out ❤❤
Thanks for the information!
I have Subscribed to you bro!
Glad to have you here. Welcome
I was a victim too, i just blocked the number and went back to bed. If it were actually real they wouldn't warn you. And I also have registered firearms throughout my house so they can try it if they want.
😂
The firearms bit though... Dont worry it's just a bluff, a scam email
@SECYBERSAFE i know im just saying though, if they really were serious we can go to war lol
Youve earned a new subscriber.
You are welcome Oscar.

Thanks for the information
❤️
Hey I’m 14 years old I had this happen to me and I got a very disturbing image of a dismembered man and said that would be him if I didn’t pay him.I almost cried and was very scared and They wanted me to pay but I didn’t respond and I blocked and deleted (permanently) but I didn’t report it to the police, I am safe right?
Yes you are. It is just a random scam message they send around
Even if I did get a message from the actual cartel im so poor I'd just die instead of paying.
Me too, lol.
Lol...thats the thing. They didn't just make it about the person. They included the family.
@@SECYBERSAFE ah, guess we're all dying then.
Not today😂
I just got that kind of text. Scared the crap out of me.
Hi, Josh. Just ignore it. Block the number
i have gotten the message 4 times now from different numbers what i did is block the number and deleted the msg i never responded to any of them . Am i doing the correct things??
Yes you are. That's the best. How frequent do you get this. When was the last time you got this msg
This happened to me out of nowhere
The information is real thanks for sharing
Yes Bimpe. Thanks for watching and supporting. I had to share this info
thanks
Me too is it fake?
Nice description. 👍👍
Thank you friend
Thank you very much
Glad to have you here, thank you too
I received threatening texts after talking with a online romance but they made threatening texts to me and family members and had specific names an address but I'm just ignoring it about a year now so nothing happened I did not report to police I don't know if I still should I told one person about it which is my husband he said ignore it
No need...since you've gotten nothing after a year
i got a text with body parts saying they had my address they even call me and some family members asking about me
Report to the police, then ignore them
Are you still alive brother??
This just happened to me yesterday and today. Just scary. Not sure what to do ?
Just do as the video says friend.
Block the scumbags.
This happened to me and it said not to block the number or else, do I just block the number?
Block pls
Yes
Plot twist: its an actual cartel and you ignore them
That's why I said, best to reach out to the police if you ignore the msg and you receive multiple threats or it becomes distrusting
I love your plot twist
They keep sending me messages and from different numbers should I keep blocking them?
Yes. But it seems your number is somewhere online and accessible. Consider keeping your number private. Check all your social media platforms
This video was helpful 👍🏼
I am glad it was. Consider subscribing and watching other helpful videos here ua-cam.com/play/PLLbcvSuqL2SxxLbcIdBfDJjRR9B8kJ-hT.html
This literally happened to me today! Fuck!!! Almost same exact message 😂
What if you reverse uno them, and send them their own address 😀 the jim browning method
Yeah, that can work. I love Jim Browning also.
But sometimes it could be difficult getting their location.
My best advice is still what I stated in the video. Thanks for being here. Glad to have you
Welcome from 4baadimb01 community and all those new here. Pls help me get to 2k.
hi!
Welcome ☺️
They do the same when calling for escort services
Yeah I recently had on they said because I wasting on of their girls time they I received a message saying that there the cartel and to pay then or else I’m a deadman I live in nyc btw I got type scared
Hm
@@emmanuelhernandez9999 I’m
Going through that right now bro me like a dumbass sent one of the girls my state I.d
Hm
@@emmanuelhernandez9999 dude same, they said exactly that "i wasted their time" and that i was one of their targets. I was like wtf i didnt even do anything lol
When you have no more family members 😞
Just got call last week
What you say
Cheers
Hey, bro I cant reallly report to the police what do I do now?
Do what the video says. Follow the steps, but ultimately ignore the message
First of all cartel will never text you for money only if you are related to cartel then you will get this type of stuff but they won't randomly text anyone .
Good that you told abt it as people who don't knew abt cartels will get some help
True. Real cartel won't text you randomly. Thanks for watching and leaving you comment.
Have you seen these ua-cam.com/play/PLLbcvSuqL2SxxLbcIdBfDJjRR9B8kJ-hT.html
Cartel people should go after these people using them for money...
@@jeeperzcreeperz4572 they do go against them if it is someone from their region using their name to steal or do some shit because cartels need to keep good connection with locals for their own benefits
But yea online it is not possible and their are fake darkweb sites prrtending to be sinoloa cartel basically to scam ppl and get btc
Yeah bro I got one last year it freaked me out I blocked them then got another one a year later so I sent them a picture of my brand new gun and ammunition they left me alone for good
😂
😂😂😂
I’m scared he said 3000 or else and he send me gore and other people say me die pls help I only 16
What should I help you with? Did you watch the video
Cartel: we have your family pay us or say goodbye to them
*Sends me the photo of the WRONG family*
Me: dude....that's not my mom, dad, sister nor brother...oof these fools IDC just telling ya....you got played
Cartel: ...damn....then who's family is this?
I got that a lot. That massage. Sent me dead body my phone
Hey man I got one of this today and I blocked it and they texted it again in another number
Just keep blocking, i am suprised this is still going around in 2022
I was give that scam just yesterday and I deleted it and blocked the number 😅
Merhaba 1beyeni benden ağzına sağlık guzel size kalici misafir geldim banada beklerim 👍👍👍👍🙋♀️
Yea I just ignored and blocked them when I got the message today
On point.
Happened to me yesterday. Was visiting family in a little farm village in Croatia, bumfuck middle of nowhere having a coffee on a nice day. Dude named Carlos (you know, Carlos, very common name in Balkans) texts me from a Croatia number saying I owe 900 euros and if I don't pay I will die and that his Mexican cartel men had me surrounded xD. My mind wasted no time realizing this was bs.
Total BS. Just ignore them and block the number. Thanks for watching, Consider checking out other of our videos
It happened to me too in 2020. They're aggressive but it's fake. Just block them, don't even respond.
Surprised it's still being done till now...i assume it is working for them that why it still being used
@@SECYBERSAFE They actually texted me again last week x). Saying that they are the Italian mafia "thing" nostra (not Casa Nostra) and that they run "Croacia and Slovaquia" and that I was surrounded. u.u
Hm,
I just reply mocking there family and they block me 😂
They tried to do that to me
I reply lets go mofo and I sent a mofo of me and a M416
Don't mess with a mofo from Chicago
😂What an approach
@@SECYBERSAFE try to Rob me you gonna feel gunshots
@@Ricky-Resultsyou good
I’m in yeet yeet country, no one is going to fall for this because there are too many guns around 😆
they keep texting what do I do
Keep blocking. Consider taking your number away from public facing social media platform
Everytime I get one I send them the Navy Seal Copypasta.
😂
They send me text lol like the USPS SCAM
I saw this link on a post
Idk why
Which post is that? If you don't mind
I did what you said not to. To be honest these people receiving these texts are not random. They have been engaged in pornography or escort sites. I immediately replied f u. And continued telling them I had their IP and I was coming after them. It stopped. Lol
Hm, I guess that worked for you😂
Yeah got one after not replying to an escort after a 5 minute convo realising she was a scam/fake and apparently I ‘wasted the cartel’s time’. just ignored it
Bruh this happens to my uncle friend 1 month ago the video is in Spanish but it's funny af he was trolling the guy and ask the guy if he can talk the the boss and it sounded like a fucking 11 year old lmao
😂😂
I got messg with video
What sort of video and on what platform did they send it to you
@@SECYBERSAFE i received text and video in text messages he hide is face with face mask
@@xEXPLORERxare you okay
I'm giving them all my gift cards if this happens to me
e
Ik this is old but do you guys think its still a scam if you were actually looking for escorts 😅
Hm
Yes 100%
Lmfao I made it all the way to where he gave me his name and zelle
But how did they know the escort website I’ve been calling the girls ?
Did you get a similar msg
@@SECYBERSAFE yes
Because they ARE some of the "girls." Its all a scam
Maybe they made the ad themselves or the escort girls are part of it not all though...
Because the girls are in on it and regardless they use it as an excuse to say ‘you wasted the cartel’s time’ by not meeting with her, if ‘her’ even exists. The cartels only kill there own, they need americans for their tourist attractions in Mexico, because the cartels own/tax all the tourist areas
Ok so then I definitely dont have anything to worry about right?? Its obvious because the format is always the same, they always say their full name then say
“You wasted our girls time, pay a fine” wouldnt saying your name be dumb and unrealistic too? It was like Carlos something 😂
Yeah
@@SECYBERSAFE i also got it from an 833 number, I heard 833 is used by lots of scammers
Nothing to worry about friend
Not necessarily
How would they have your address if you didn't hire any girls?🤣
Online with your phone number
Are you sure it’s a good idea to go to da police!
Yes it is a good idea if you have responsive police...just to show them, although at this point this msgs are clearly spam... So it might not require visiting police except the message u received was perosnalized
@@SECYBERSAFE personalized would be frightening.
I reversed it and put the fear of God in them
I got a text like that yesterday
I will ignore them thank you for this information.
I will report it to the police today
Ty for the info 4baadimh sent me
Welcome glad to have you here. Glad you found the info useful. Pls Share the video especially if you are in America
