Had more time to think…the hospital has all his documents in the locker so they should be able to find contact information for someone who has authority rather than trying to extort from me.

Yes, supposedly there’s a locker area where patients’ personal belongings are stored and he used my friend’s phone to reply to my texts because I had been trying to get ahold of him when I didn’t hear from him after a day when he should have been back.

They said they supposedly called and didn’t get an answer.

The reason I sort of believe some of what he says is that he is using his phone and Whatsapp. I’ve asked for him to take a picture of my friend but he said he’s in a private ward. I’m going to ask him to take a screenshot of the contacts and send it to me. I asked about the US Embassy.

I think I have barely $200 to my name. They think he’s rich. I wish I knew someone down there who can look into what is really going on. This is really tearing me up inside.

The person I am texting with says he’s in critical condition.

I feel like this is extortion.

Thank you. Gives me hope.

The person I’ve been texting with has his phone and was finally able to access his Whatsapp account. Should I suggest what you told me? He was on his way home to the Houston area when this happened.
