Here is how it works - don't be a victim:
1. You get a strange call, and a recording of a familiar voice saying they are kidnapped
2. They say they don't know where they are and they are cut off
3. A voice comes on the line and gives you a western union name and address
4. They tell you to not call authorities, or they will harm the loved one
5. You hear screams in the background - and the sounds of somebody that is familiar to you begging for help. The voice tells you that you have one hour to wire the money - before they kill the victim.
6. You send money - hoping to save the loved one. They were actually never kidnapped. You have no relative by that name.
