And when I went to the ATM, they knew I'd talked to someone in the line. Ended up costing me US$5000 and a trip back to the states. Bottom line is that security is everything. Be paranoid. Make sure your loved ones have a cell phone that is never turned off, because the most common times to pull this scam are when they walk into a movie theater or the gym. And the truth is, if they know where your friend or family member is, then they CAN pick them up. These motherfuckers need to be eradicated, and I'd be happy to see them all pissed on and beheaded, but until that day, watch your back. Argentina is, in many ways, anarchy; you survive by building up your own defenses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575603049321348898.post-78224988140451271112008-10-16T22:03:00.000-04:002008-10-16T22:03:00.000-04:00@K8: Never realised there were Mexicans at home -...<B> @K8: </B> Never realised there were Mexicans at home - they must be craving good tex mex<BR/><BR/><B> @VE: </B> You know me - would you pay the ransom?<BR/><BR/><B> @L o N: </B> Sickos everywhere unfortunately<BR/><BR/><B> @Broke: </B> It was only a Stohl - you'll recoverPaddy in BA (Quickroute)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12748161252400814925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575603049321348898.post-7610919778269515442008-10-16T15:19:00.000-04:002008-10-16T15:19:00.000-04:00Same thing happened to me but the kidnappers said ...Same thing happened to me but the kidnappers said they had one of my precious beers. I checked my fridge and couldn't tell if one of them was missing or not because I drank a lot the night before. I told the kidnappers they were bluffing and then heard a bottle smash. I cried for a whole day after. Never again will I take one of my beers for granted.

The best defence is just deep suspicion of any call that doesn't come from someone you actually know. And of course simple common sense. Indeed, how about calling the supposedly missing person? Luckily, phone scams are pretty rare here, bogus emails of the Please confirm your PIN number variety are much more likely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
