MEXICO CITY · "Papa! Papa! Papa!" cried the voice on Rodolfo Melchor's cell phone. Then: "Honey, it's me, I've been kidnapped!"The office machine repairman, on a break at work, dialed police and sprinted home, finding after the most harrowing 30 minutes of his life that his family was just fine.
Melchor had avoided falling victim to a "virtual kidnapping," a scheme aimed at quickly extracting ransom without an abduction. The weapon used is not a gun or a knife, but a telephone.
