????New Growing Crime Type in the US: Cyber Kidnapping
The surge in cyber kidnapping scams has sent shockwaves through some communities, with a recent case shedding light on the terrifying tactics used by criminals.
In this case, cybercriminals orchestrated a scenario where the victim secluded himself in a remote location, giving the impression that he was in captivity. His family, convinced of the threat, paid a significant ransom to secure his release.
