The scam calls often request a ransom in exchange for a kidnapped child.
5 min readSTOCK PHOTO/Getty ImagesAt least two incidents of the scam have been reported this week to the Boone County Sheriff's Office in Kentucky, about 20 miles southwest of Cincinnati, officials said.
During one of the phone calls, the purported kidnapper told a father,"If you want to see your daughter again, follow my instructions." When the father disconnected the call, he called his wife, who confirmed that their daughter was safe at school, authorities said. The parents who reported the call to authorities described it as"terrifying" and"very realistic," authorities said.Another man in the Cincinnati area received a similar phone call earlier this month, he told ABC Cincinnati affiliate"I heard what sounded like my daughter in distress," home inspector Jim Kidd told the station."She even called me 'Daddy,' like she does when she's upset about something. It was very convincing.
