It is sad that a couple of seniors, (elderly) neighbors of ours, have been taken in by telephone extortion. Unscrupulous people, criminals, took advantage of the good faith of these people and managed to harm them in their heritage, their savings intended for their old age, for their disease. Their faces filled with despair generate impotence for not having requested in time support of the authorities or trusted family. They went to the places where deposit were made trying to avoid their collection, but these were made immediately . No one is exempt from being a victim of such crimes. People are being called in Ajijic, Chapala, San Antonio Tlayacapan, the last report was 05 five minutes ago.
