Why is Nogales, AZ so corrupt?
I’ve heard so many stories about business owners paying full-time employees with cash (=no SS for employee), lying about completing jobs (eg auto shops saying they replaced a part in your car when they never did), the list goes on and on. And don’t even get me started on the Liz Gutfahr scandal. I know every town/city has their own problems, but Nogales in particular just seems to run with no laws and corrupt people everywhere.
Or this story - My father recently passed away at Holy Cross hospital, and I was holding on to his belongings, including his phone. 2 hours after TOD (I’ve left the hospital at this point ) I receive a text from an unknown 520 number TO MY DAD’S PHONE from someone claiming to be from Donor Network of Arizona that they need his organs or $ donation ASAP before his organs go bad. We hadn’t shared the news with anyone at that point, so how could any scammer know so quickly that my dad passed away? Did a hospital staff member with access to my dad’s information see me with his belongings and knew someone in a vulnerable state would be on the other end to receive that text?
So much crazy shit goes on in this town it absolutely baffles me. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I feel like I’m going crazy, would love to hear other stories!
