TikTok User Exposes Scam Caller Holding Sister Hostage.

A TikTok user shared her experience of receiving a call from a scammer who pretended to hold her sister hostage. The scammer demanded ransom money and threatened the user not to call the police. The user sent the money but later found out that her sister was safe. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) received 2.4 million fraud reports in 2022, most of which were imposter scams. The FTC advises people not to trust the voice and to verify the story by calling the person who supposedly contacted them.
