re: #820 Mr Pancakes
That sucks… I’ve heard of scams like that.
It could be worse. You could be a central American parent with a kid going through Mexico for Texas, and they want a payment you really truly cannot make, and so they kill your kid. Along with 30-some others.
This was in the news recently. That’s how “coyotes” work, when they’re smuggling Guatemalans etc. through Mexico to the U.S.
And then they kill the mayor of the town for making a fuss about it.
