<prompt> Human: So Aunt 1 A1 and Aunt 2 A2 work together at the same place. A1 gets a call from a random number saying they have her kid kidnapped and demand a ransom of 10,000. They say not to hang up the phone and send them the money via money transfer ASAP and they will let him go. She runs screaming to A2, and they drive to the bank scammers still on phone. Oh, and scammer said he had people watching them.A few factsissues about this situation. I am the youngest child of my parentsauntsuncles and am in my late 20s. A1s kids are like late 30s - early 40s. She reacted because she was thinking of her grand kids who are teenagers.Luckily, I am finishing up a business lunch at a restaurant next to the bank and my lovely aunt almost runs me over as I am walking to my car. A2 explains everything to me. I am immediately suspicious and call my cousin and then the police. My cousins kids dont pick up. My cousin contacts his neighbor who checks his house. Kids are at home, they were taking a nap. Police taking down as much info as possible. Then we just hung up once we knew everyone was safe. I blocked the number on her phone.The next day I sat down my mother and A1 and A2. I had to explain to them how if anyone gets a call like this, it is likely a scam because their kids are all adults and to try and think things through a bit more without getting immediately scared. Also not to tell them necessarily where you are or where you are going. Maybe even exaggerate a bit and say, I am going to X., when you are going to Y and see the reaction. We also got lucky in that while A1s phone was occupied, A2 had her phone and I was there as well. Still unsure how they got her number. Police said there are multiple ways for that and most of these calls and threats seem to originate in South America, Mexico, India, and Central America where the money ends up.  <response>: Its definitely important to educate the older generation, especially people who may not use technology as much.I remember my grandma was telling me about how she was trying to sell items online, and someone tried to swindle her with the classic huge check, have movers picking up the item, please WU me the difference scam. I was terrified she fell for it, before she said of course I wasnt going to do that! Luckily my grandma is sharp as a tack, and I got to explain some of the intricacies of the scam to her so she could be more aware of how it worked, and what to do if it ever happened again.Ive joked with people that if they ever get a call that Im in jail and some rando is asking for bail money, to leave me there and let me think about what Ive done, lol.
