A growing online scam aimed at Chinese international students is being investigated by 101 East.
Chinese students are being forced to feask their own kidnappings for money by a disturbing “cyber kidnapping” scam targeting students all over the world.
Kai Zhuang, a 17-year-old Chinese student, vanished from the US in December 2023. A photo of him in distress and ransom demands were sent to his family. He was discovered hiding in Utah’s mountains a few days later.
A 22-year-old female student was reported missing in Australia four months earlier, and her family received images of her bound and bloody condition. Within 24 hours, she was unharmed.
