My father in law received a call claiming that his daughter/ my wife has been kidnapped and there was a 'kidnapped' lady in the background crying and pleading for help. Ask him to prepare $100k for ransom or he will kill her. He quickly called me to check if she's ok.

 

This sparked and panic and everyone called my wife, who picked up her mobile saying she's ok and still at work. She later laughed saying that the lady on the phone pleaded in Chinese, which she never used Chinese to talk to my father in law..

 

Was bit funny but at that time, my balls also shrink.. sigh... this people are sick.

Actually I was enjoying myself listening to him crying n calling me dad on the phone... [laugh] suddenly got a extra son from somewhere kind of get me excited... maybe it is true... ^_^ In fact, I gave him time to cry and call me dad for a few times... after he stopped then I told him the truth.... he kept quiet for a moment and then slammed my phone... [rolleyes]

Whether real threat or scam, you did the right thing. But don't engage in any kind of conversation, just hang up and call your closed ones immediately. It's a psychological game.

my father also panicked a bit when he received such call and call me to verify if my younger brother is safe. one thing i noticed is that for some people, when worried about the safety of their loved ones, they couldn't think straight. so i told him it was a scam and ask if the voice sounded like my younger brother. and my father admitted he was not sure if the voice belonged to my brother. maybe old folks hearing also not that sharp

Hahaha! Of all the scams I've read especially those reported at the consumer complaint site called Callercenter, that scammer is the lamest of them all. How did that man expect some american is gonna buy his act? [rifle]

Well, got a scam call before, too. Told me Microsoft was alerted about the virus on my PC and that this man named Harris called up to let me know about it. Said he's more than willing to help me remove it and get my computer running smoothly again. And I was like, "Such a good man. How do we do that?"

 

Harris: That'll be very easy, Sir. Are you in front of your computer right now?

Me: Yes, I am... Hmm... What company again are you working for?

Harris: We're affiliated with Microsoft, Sir.

Me: That's funny.

Harris: I'm sorry, Sir, but what do you mean?

Me: I got Mac.

 

Then Harris hung up.

Usually, we do not use our home phone as everyone has got their own mobile phone.

 

But today, today, the phone rang just when it was near me so I picked up. It was someone asking to be rescued.

 

When the caller realized I was much younger when I said "Hello", the crying suddenly stooped and he quickly hung up. hahahaha.

 

The call came from Malaysia.
