My mom's friend got a random phone call one night from unknown scammers. At the time, of course, she did not know this. Her son had recently entered military service, and there was no way to really reach him after dark. Somehow knowing this fact, the scammers proceeded to spin their manipulative tale. Apparently, the scammers claimed that her son had briefly left the military compound for break and that he was now in their custody. Claiming to have her son as a hostage, they threatened to kill him unless she immediately wired to them 10,000 dollars. Interestingly, they even let her speak to her "son" - of course it wasn't really her son. Now, this can seem rather silly, for how can you not recognize your own child's (an only child, too) voice? According to my mom's friend, in that dire circumstance, panic overtook her rationality and the stranger's voice actually sounded like her son's. Long story short, she immediately wired all the money in her bank account to these sly scam artists. A day later, she called the number again to see what happened, but alas the number no longer existed! It was then she realized her folly. After hearing about this, I realized how ruthless and desperate scam artists really are. That they would take advantage of a mother's love for her child to make some money is cowardly and ridiculously shameful. Scam artists truly are detestable scumbags and they deserve the worst treatment possible from those who catch on to their charades. | ||
