New CFE extortion scam

Recommended Posts

I got a call yesterday that a person from CFE (electric company) was at a clients home with the police and they were threatening to shut off their power in Chula Vista.  They said that they needed an immediate payment of $40,000 pesos cash or else they would cut off the electricity and if they did that then the bill would be $3,000,000, property was tenant occupied and landlord was out of area and scared and when we checked with CFE they said THEY NEVER SEND PEOPLE OUT AND NEVER ASK FOR CASH.  Gave a name of Claudia and a cell number to call.  They also said they would cut the power if they called me so I immediately went there and they were gone, I wanted to take their pictures.  Funny thing was there were real Chapala police officers with them so maybe they fooled the cops too.  Be wary of anybody wanting cash and any payments not made at an official office with official, receipt.
