The end of the phone. In this recording which the bbc has obtained, a blackmailer is demanding payment for a lost pet. Its one of hundreds of calls made to innocent pet owners in the last two years, leaving many people distraught and scared. We found evidence of organised criminal gangs using lost pet Social Media posts to extort cash from owners. Its something Linda Tong from tilsley had first Hand Experience of. I got a Phone Call from this guy, who said that he had lulu. Lindas Dog Lulu went missing last year, and after searching to no avail, linda posted a plea on Social Media. Its then that the Phone Calls started. And he started talking about money, how much money i should pay. I think he mentioned 2,000, then he came down to 1,000. I said, im going to ring the police. He said, if you ring the Police Youll never see lulu again. Detective Inspector Amanda sykes is leading a cumbria police
