Tomorrow, Friday March 14 at 11:00 AM
Salon El Dorado at the Hotel Playa Mazatlán
Meeting with Sub-Procuraduría de Justicia Zona Sur
(Attorney General of Sinaloa) Lic. Marco Antonio Higuera
The Attorney General would like to meet with the foreign community in Mazatlán to discuss the topic of extortion in Sinaloa. The Attorney General and other state prosecutors have expressed concern over extortions and wish to brief the foreign community on extortions and how to avoid them.
In February I wrote you all a blog post about scams and extortions. While I believe such scams are no more common here than in many other places, the approaches here are a bit culturally distinct from scam approaches in other parts of the world. We all are wise to know how to respond in locally appropriate ways. I believe it is wonderful that Lic. Higuera is taking his time and attention to share his advice and guidance with us! Please spread the word! See you there!
¡VidaMaz! 
Anyone have any comments about the meeting with the Sinaloa Attorney General?
Denise, Greg and I had to work and were not able to attend. A few people told me they’d send a summary, which we are happy to publish, but unfortunately I haven’t received one. Sorry!
Hi Denise- the folks at Mazatlan Messenger did a great job of recapping the main points. You can read their write-up here: http://mazmessenger.com/2014/03/15/mazalan-foreign-community-warned-of-telephone-scams/
