    This kidnap in India...

    ...the family are from Oldham, the boy gets kidnapped on holiday and a ransom demand issued.

    What's the betting that it's a scam?

      I'm sure the cops have even more suspicious minds than us. I hope the little guy gets home safely.

            I suppose that they heard a Brit or someone from these Isles was in town and they figured that as he was from the west he was loaded.Wouldn’t be surprised if there is an element of serious misunderstanding. Perhaps they think anyone from over here is loaded.

            That or something waaay more sinister. I’d rather not go there as the mind can play out some horrific senarious.

              Bit cynical that.

              No, very cynical in fact.

                If it's a scam, they're good actors. Should be up for an Emmy.
