  There's nothing in that link that contradicts what I wrote. My source was an official police alert. I lost the reference, but here is another one from a newspaper (in Spanish): https://www.lavoz.com.ar/sucesos/estafaban-desde-prision-con-secuestros-virtuales https://www.lavoz.com.ar/sucesos/estafaban-desde-prision-con... Edit: that was from Argentina, another one in Chile: https://www.heraldo.es/noticias/aragon/zaragoza/2015/04/09/la-investigacion-cientos-secuestros-virtuales-desde-zaragoza-una-prision-chilena-350292-2261126.html https://www.heraldo.es/noticias/aragon/zaragoza/2015/04/09/l...

    Could be, but I think "official police alerts" are actually one of the least reliable sources of information.

      "Could be" on sources, scare quotes, stay classy.
