37. The Kidnapping Scam
Similar to “mugged overseas” scams, this one comes from someone you know telling you that they (or a family member of theirs) have been kidnapped and are being held for ransom, asking that you wire money immediately to facilitate their release. While this might ignite your Liam Neeson fantasies, don’t try to play terrorist negotiator. Instead, try to contact your friend through another means and you’ll likely find they are home and safe.
