24. The hit and run scam

This shocking scam will claim that your child has committed a hit and run offense, but the victim and his friends have caught up with them and kidnapped them until they pay up for the damage caused. The 'kidnapper' will ask you to pay up, or else. This is a common scam perpetrated on Facebook and other similar places, so you should not believe it. Call your loved one to check all is well.
