Kidnapping call

TRUE STORY

(Warning, uncharacteristic foul language from me)

So last night i am alone at home, resting. The phone rings, and i pick up the phone, only to hear a girl crying desperately, wich made me freak out. She started screaming, saying "daddy! daddy! they got me, please, do everything they say". (i am not a father, so unless my cat Camila has been kidnapped and can now talk, i am pretty sure what this is).

Then, a man starts cursing at me, "hey mother*****, i have your girl, and i am going to cut her head off unless you", i interrupt the guy and tell him, "look you dumb idiot, can't you get a new story, the one your trying to use on me is so old". A few seconds of silence pass, and the guy says, "do you know the one about the gulf cartel?". I say, "yeah, thats pretty lame, what are you? and idiot? get a new one for christ sake". Another 5 seconds pass and he says "what about the decapitated head?" i go "thats another stupid one, are you that stupid?" another 5 seconds pass and he says "oh.........mmmm.......well, ok, see you later, thanks".

At this point i laughed til my stomach hurt.

But there is a sad side to this....it would be received totally different by a parent whose daughter wasn't in their presence. There are truly sick people out there who'd do anything for money....other than work for it, that is! Plus they're teaching young kids how to attempt extortion.

Edit: Fix transposition

Jesse, the whole scenario you have cited is absolutely horrifying to those who may have a young child, fortunately you knew where your 4 legger child was at

I hope when/if these callers are caught they are put away for a very long time, plus they are training a child in their sick behaviour..

Does this mean that Ghanaians are more sophisticated than Mexicans? At leasst they usse the internet for extortion!

At leasst they usse the internet for extortion! based on the recent hackers getting into Internet Explorer (and that security hole still wide open), everyone is more sophisticated than these idiots. But hey, it's a third world country.. Mexico will progress someday to become hackers not hack-offs.

I'll second your statement Jesse (EVERYTHING that you find anywhere in the world, happens here as well, good or bad.) seems we're witnessing a torrent of bad in the world right now though and it's very unnerving, innocent children being used as pawns is pathetic and the "adults" need to be dealt with.
