Jan. 18—"A box of drugs and money being shipped has your name on it and it has been intercepted at the border."
That's what a recorded voice is telling Washington state residents in what is a phone scam apparently targeting Latinos.
The message then instructs the recipient to press 1 to speak with a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent.
Bernal Baca and Yazmin Aguilar both have gotten the calls. The executive director and deputy director of Tacoma's Centro Latino didn't fall for it. But Aguilar did investigate.
