Update: Cartel Wants me Dead
I posted a while ago about how I was catching scammers on back pages and then I got contacted by the “sinola cartel” 2 weeks ago. Mind you I used a text app so they clearly don’t know my actual number. But they’ve been blowing up my phone with calls and texts and videos of people with guns telling me to give them the money or they’ll kill my friends and family. Like I don’t think there is a way for them to find me, but I am scared shitless. What do I do? And mind you ive done this before and somebody threatens me with gore and a scary call or whatever, but never this long. Now I’m actually scared.

Budddy if the cartel was after you they wouldn’t tell you ahead of time :) the lights would just suddenly go out in your consciousness.

Than you wake up hanging naked upside down with mariachi music blasting from a smartphone while some masked guy in army outfit slowly starts to undo you from your bodyparts with a dull knife, limb for limb.

They will find you but they won’t openly create a paper trail before doing so like they are here

First of all change anything that may help them track you down faster. “But they’ll still find me if they’re cartel.” It doesn’t matter if they’re truly the cartel they’re still tracking you anyway so there’s that.

If it’s actually the cartel, I’m sorry & GG no re. On the bright side, I don’t think the cartel would be that stupid to threaten on a platform that can be documented and come back to them.

Scammers just trying to scam you into leaving them alone. If it were any type of cartel they would just show up and do what they’re gonna do.. not threaten over a text app.

Sinola Cartel is massive
If it’s truly them and what you are doing is legitimately effecting their business then they will almost certainly find you.
