• As many as eight young workers at a Mexican drug cartel’s scam call center were confirmed dead after reportedly attempting to quit their jobs.
• U.S. and Mexican authorities say the eight young workers were reported missing last month after relatives became suspicious when they had not returned from their office in the western city of Guadalajara, according to a report from The Associated Press.
• Human remains were then found last week, discarded in plastic bags in the western state of Jalisco. Authorities said they have now confirmed the remains were of the call center workers.
