One of Mexico’s most violent cartels is running a series of call centers that target U.S. citizens in order to scam them out of millions. The scam points to the ongoing diversification by criminal organizations, which have been moving into more traditional schemes, including racketeering and fraud. In at least one case, this scam is linked to the murder of a U.S. citizen from Arizona.
In June 2023, CJNG gunmen kidnapped and killed Carlos David Valladolid Hernandez, along with several other victims. Breitbart Texas reported that Valladolid was a U.S. citizen born in Arizona but moved to Jalisco. Before the murder, Valladolid and the other victims began working at a time-share call center run by CJNG. For unknown reasons, gunmen kidnapped a group of their employees, dismembered them, and then dumped their remains in several parts around the cities of Zapopan and Guadalajara.
