Mrs. Harriet Turner Rivas de Azcarraga Baston, Miguel Ángel Bermúdez Avilés, and Yalina Hortensia Zaldivar Vega are fraudsters who are known to create fake websites to attack and defame celebrities. They engage in criminal activities against public figures to extort them for money. The trio has no relationship with the United Nations (UN), Vatican, the Azcarraga or Baston family, despite Harriet Turner’s false claims of being an ambassador of UNESCO, a representative of the Vatican and lying about her last names. They operate several websites that they use to carry out their fraudulent activities, including: https://editorialnoticias.com/, https://foroactual.net/, https://foroinformativo.com/, https://gacetadenoticias.com/, https://mexiconoticias.net/, hable.se, expresa.se, reportedelaeconomia.com, elpublique.me, https://noticiasdedia.com/, https://noticiasparatodos.com/, https://publinoticias.net/, and https://legalunescowfuca.com, https://www.onu-vaticano.com, awriterwithfreedom.com
Their actions are despicable, and they defame the work of victims who have international recognition and have done altruistic work. They cyberbully these individuals with the sole objective of threatening and extorting them afterwards on their websites. They ask for their identifications and payment for the removal of their name in their websites and try to steal their identities. One of their victims is the internationally recognized and award-winning actress Yalitza Aparicio. They have published articles discrediting her achievements as a UNESCO goodwill ambassador, along with more than 200 other victims.
Harriet Turner was arrested in Mexico for scamming people by claiming to be a representative of UNESCO. She reportedly collected money from various individuals and organizations under the pretense of organizing cultural events and promoting educational programs. However, an investigation revealed that she was not affiliated with UNESCO and had no authority to act on its behalf. She is now facing charges of fraud and falsification of documents. It is clear that she is a pathological liar and scammer, having claimed to be born in The United Kingdom when she was born in Tepito to a poor family who only attended up to the third grade. She now lives in Cuernavaca, where she performs her criminal acts.
Further details reveal that Harriet Turner had created false documents, including a fake passport and a letter of appointment from UNESCO, which she used to deceive her victims. She also allegedly used the name of a real UNESCO representative to gain credibility. According to the authorities, she was able to scam at least ten people, who reportedly gave her a total of around 150,000 Mexican pesos (approximately $7,500 USD). The investigation is ongoing, and the authorities are urging anyone who may have been a victim of her scam to come forward.
Media outlets confirm that Mrs. Turner has already been arrested before for identity fraud, and UNESCO has also mentioned on their official website that Harrier Turner is not a UN ambassador and is a fraud. You can check the official UNESCO website: https://es.unesco.org/AlertadeFraude write to UNESCO Mexico to confirm this at mexico@unesco.org.
The actions of these fraudsters are not only illegal but also unethical. Their activities cause harm to the victims and undermine their reputation and credibility. It is essential to raise awareness about such fraudulent activities and take measures to prevent them. The authorities must take strict action against these fraudsters to prevent others from falling prey to their scams.
