The Feds! If you're sincere about this, (since you started your account today) take a copy of the info to your local police dept.

Notify FBI or the local US consulate of that country. If you are doing it for fun... you will be in big trouble.

Yes, you are almost certainly being scammed, hard to imagine kidnappers who would send out mass emails to whom it may concern. However, it wouldn't hurt to contact the Office of Overseas Citizens Services at the Department of State, even so. I imagine they'd like to see your email. Here's the contact info:

OVERSEAS CITIZENS SERVICES: Call 1-888-407-4747 (from overseas: 202-501-4444) for answers related to questions concerning the:

Death of an American citizen abroad
Arrest/detention of an American citizen abroad
Robbery of an American citizen abroad
American citizens missing abroad
Crisis abroad involving American citizens

You are being scammed. Do not send money to anyone, anywhere.

If the bad guys are Mexicans, the American government won't do squat! I would tell the FBI and then send them something other than cash if you get my drift. Since explosives are illegal, take a **** in a bag and fed x it!

Do you know the victim? Because if you do not, it is a scam.

Do you know the person who has supposedly been abducted?
If not then it is a scam.
If yes then you should go to the police and let them deal with it.

Do you know for sure that the "abducted person" is at home or at work today or not? Have you caled them to find out?
If yes (they are at home) then it is scam
if not - then call them right now and find out. if they are not at home then call the pplice - DO NOT pay any money out to anyone.

If you do not personally know this person, you are being scammed

If you do know the person, you contact the State Dept or the US Embassy in the country where the person is being held
