    If you're a woman who's been kidnapped, or in any other kind of danger, and you manage to get to a cellphone, the logical thing to do is call a random number and then leave a message saying "please help me" without giving any other information.

    Here in Brazil this kind of calls happen all the time - you pick up and a crying person says "Dad?? I need help." (as I'm a dude - my wife picks up and they start with "Mom") which is weird because we don't have kids so I just laugh and tell them to try another number. Usually they just hang up but sometimes they engage with me and we share a laugh.
    If you actually fall for it, they usually ask for money and give you a bank account to transfer some money to.
    It's so damn common that even older folks, like my mother-in-law, already know about it and so she gets her jollies stringing the folks along chatting with them for a while before hanging up.

    There's a particularly horrofying story about scam calls in my family. Important context: My mom's family lives in the opposite side of the state. So, there's this very well known scam call tactic of pretending to have a loved one captive, demanding a large sum of money for ransom. One night they called my grandma, telling her that they had kidnapped my mom. They knew all the family details and my grandma swears, she heard my mom's voice. It was so believable for her. They told her to not call the police, not tell anyone, just deposit the money otherwise...
    My grandma was scared and almost fell for it. Like, imagine your daughter living far away, only coming to visit once a year and then they call you in the middle of the night saying all that... Yeah, there's no limits for scam calls, lemme tell you.

      This happened to my grandfather too a few months ago!! To be honest the entire ordeal has left me really freaked out answering calls in general because when he came to pick me up he was already in the middle of the call, so I had no idea who he was talking to, and when he tried telling me to call my grandma the man on the other end immediately began to interrogate him on who he was talking to, where he was, and then went on to threaten me. I should've reacted better, but I had no idea what was going on at the time. He was so panicked and wouldn't listen when I signaled for him to hang up, even when I showed him my mom's texts that they were safe at home, he didn't register it because he was so scared. It wasn't until we got home and my mom was fine that I finally found out what happened, and I'm honestly so mad. He claims he heard my mom's voice on the other end pleading for help, and then the man came in to say my mom saw something she shouldn't have, so they needed my grandpa to deposit a large sum of money for her life. It's so stupid, but this just gave me an added layer of fear towards ever getting involved with the wrong crowd - that fear I felt in the car not knowing if I was safe was awful :/ I don't think I would've been afraid if I'd listened from the beginning, but man.

Have you ever wondered if the problem isn't actually the internet but social media that is causing that and many other problems in people. I think social media is designed to be a "weapon" in a sense.

      I’m living one rn. Though my family and I aren’t scared really. We’ve gotten mysterious voicemails with a voice saying that they know where we live, and threatening to stalk my mother.
      The voicemail sounds like some teenager, trying to be creepy. Though they do know my mother and I’s names. My brother just received a strange text from an unknown number. All it said was just, “bye.”
      The main lead to who it could be would be a client’s kid who was kicked out of a summer program that my mom works for. He’s known to be schizophrenic and a potential narcissist who’s been raising hell with the other employees and kids. Of course, the parents aren’t giving him professional help.
      Though, I don’t know how he had gotten my name.

I’m wondering if it’s her ex husband antagonizing her. he abruptly divorced her and has been going through some kind of mental break. he’s gotten into alcohol abuse as well. she’s been very torn up about it and it’s all she talks about and these random messages have just been adding onto her stress. does anyone have experience with something similar or know if it’s actually a scam?

    About 3 years ago, I received a call and it began with a woman asking for help with some hints of sobbing. They were speaking in Spanish but I understood them. She was saying something along the words “You need to speak with these guys please.” Then I hear a man telling me in Spanish, “Send the money or you’ll be responsible for this woman’s death.”
    I, who just woke up to answer this call, answered with a groggy tone “What?”. I think they expected me to say more than just that because there was awkward silence after that. They mumbled to each other (man and woman) and they hung up.
    If I wasn’t half asleep, I surely would’ve fallen for it and continued talking on the phone. I didn’t get any of those threatening calls ever since that one.

      In addition to informing them, you can also set up a code phrase or something to ease their mind, so they feel more prepared if someone tries to tell them you're in danger. Or just encourage them to report the call and let the caller know they're doing so.

      Always remind them to never be afraid to ask a question about anything. My mom will always call me about anything she is unsure of day or night. Anyone tries anything with her will get me instead and I'm always up to waste someone's time.

      You should always inform your parents about recent scam tactics to them regardless of how they’ll respond.
      Also if this were to happen, make sure you both have a codename, word, or phrase. Make it where both you and the parents don’t say “if this is you say this” or something similar to those lines to said scammers.
      I haven’t gotten these, but I’m glad I informed my parents so at least we’ll know what to do.

    The fact that they target people who use escort services makes me think the escorts them are selling the info they have about their clients for a few extra cash

    God.... I'm already getting terror tears
    I don't know why but automated calls and whatnot mortify me for whatever reason
    So when the video of the voicemail played it creeped me out
    I hate hearing those voices, stuff like 'Your call is very important to us. Please hold, and we'll connect you with a representative.' and whatnot. ;-;

    This happened to me back in 2000, but the person didn't mention my name or address or demand money. It was just images from brutal murder scenes. Still shook me. I contacted the police about it but they said they couldn't do anything about it since I was in Pennsylvania and the number the pictures were sent from was traced to Oregon.

    I unfortunately was the scary unknown caller for one poor guy a couple years back. I had mistook one of the digits in my friend's phone and called the number a couple times bc I was confused why they weren't answering my text messages as they had said they were ready to call on Hangouts.
    I simply sent another text confirming it where i said, "When call? OwO" and i had asked "[Friends name]?" A few minutes later. Then the person finally called back and started begging for me to please leave them alone.
    I was so confused at first until I realized what happened and i explained to them i mistook their number for my friend's. For their sanity's sake, i hope their name wasn't the same as my friend's because that would have been even creepier for them

    Hate to tell you this scare, but most guys who get escorts are not guys who find it difficult to hook-up otherwise. I used to drive independent escorts to johns. Most of these are normal, or good, looking guys who have quite a bit of disposable income. To them paying for an escort is no different than buying alcohol and some coke to party with.

      I’m friends with an escort and you’re right. She said most of the time it’s normal good looking guys after some no strings attached fun or company. Pretty disgusted in that escort comment actually.
