Mexico City Police Warn of New Car Damage Scam

Mexico City residents are warned about a new car insurance scam. The scam involves criminals intentionally damaging parked vehicles and leaving behind a note with a phone number. When the car owner calls the number, the fraudster requests personal or banking information under the guise of processing an insurance claim. "This is a new type of fraud that we are seeing in the city," said a spokesperson for the Mexico City Cybernetic Police. The police have issued a warning urging citizens not to share any personal information with the scammers. Instead, they advise contacting their insurance company directly to report the damage. The video demonstrates how the scam works, showing the damage inflicted on a car and highlighting the fraudulent note. The authorities are working to apprehend those responsible for this growing criminal activity. By taking precautions and reporting any suspicious activity, residents can protect themselves from becoming victims of this scam.
