  Yes, they will keep threatening you that they will report to the local gang command that you owe the GP to pressure you to pay, just ignore it. They will probably send a photo of a weapon to threaten you later as well.

  The same thing happened to my husband. He has two different numbers, and they sent messages to both of his numbers. They made a montage with a photo from one of his WhatsApp profiles, saying they would spread it around the whole city that he was a rapist and that he hired prostitutes and didn't pay them. They sent a message asking for 1400 to not do anything to him, then later lowered it to 600. And finally, somehow, they got photos of all our documents and our family members' documents and sent us messages saying they would come after all of us. They had our address and everything... We went to the police station, and when we got there, they explained that it was a new type of scam, that we shouldn't pay anything and should block them. We filed a police report because they had access to all our data. Not to mention that they tried to scam me weeks before as well. They called me pretending to be a gang leader, demanding that I pay a fee so that nothing would happen to me and my family, repeating my full address and full name several times, and they don't give you time to think, it's terrifying. They speak so aggressively that I spent days feeling violated. It's horrible to go through these situations. The number that contacted me was from my state, while the ones who contacted my husband were from Minas Gerais and another from Espírito Santo. Be careful and don't fall for this pressure. In fact, when we went to the police station, the officer listening to us said that a merchant from our very small town also received a call and unfortunately fell for the scam, losing 200 thousand reais. They just didn't say how they approached him to convince him to transfer that amount. But unfortunately, it's getting harder every day not to fall for a scam because we are so vulnerable to daily violence situations that people believe the gang will really kill you and your family, as there are many cases where it really happens.
