True!As a cautionary note: we had a very similar thing occur last month (last week?) here in Winnipeg: Chinese student from a wealthy family, abduction, ransom asked for. It turned out that the ‘victim’ had engineered his own kidnapping to get money out of his parents. See this article for details:
Kidnapping 'victim' faked crime with accomplice, police allege
There are also a number of kidnapping scams going around specifically targeting Chinese students in Canada.
Seems to be a different MO though. Victims are told to go into hiding by fake Chinese officials via phone. Here, we have a physical kidnapping, 3 masked men and a car with stolen license plates.As a cautionary note: we had a very similar thing occur last month (last week?) here in Winnipeg: Chinese student from a wealthy family, abduction, ransom asked for.
