is it possible to fake a kidnapping online?

uh. humans has times and times proved the impossible possible. faking a kidnapping online wouldn't be that hard i suppose.

Anything is possible. What channel are you watching?

with todays technology, i think it is really possible, why couldn't it happen? what is it keeping people from not doing it? they can make money by doing a ransom note or something? Its that people can get easily caught through ip. It is possible to start one, they just wont be able to pull it off most likely, and get caught.
