She recorded part of the conversation. Lindsay watts spot to the woman tonight shawn, tony. This happened just this afternoon. Amber got a call from a man who said her dad was involved in a hit and run crash and heres the twist. The caller said ambers dad had hit his son and then tried to flee the scene. Now ambers dad was being held hostage an she had to pay thousands to save his life. Do you want us to name folks and see him again you will do this correctly. You understanding me amber. Yes. He said someone will have to pay for what your father did and the charges for my sons hospital bills. You have two openings youre going to do this correctly and respond and if got im going to hang up the phone and brains out and you can save the money for his funeral. How far are you from your house, 40 minutes. Yes. Keep going to your house now. You are not going to hang up or put me on hold every time i speak to you you answer me dont pick up phone calls or message from anyone. Now my dad is unconscious from being knocked out by his gun and said he is pleading and they put a towel over his head and putting pressure on it to stop the bleeding but they had kidnapped him and they needed like 4,000. Im shaking and trying not to cry. And my parents are in texas i cannot go down the street. Im in another town right now. But im driving back as fast as i can. Listen to me youre not going to speed. Youre not going to run red lights because you dont want you pulled officer by the police. Go straight to your house. The man told me if were because they had my father obtained and they had his cellphone and if anybody were to call him, that they would know and just shoot him in the head. If anyone tries to contact you know what will happen to richard. What youre going to do is go to your house and go to the safe and get money and ill explain to you how you will wire the money. It was horrific for me honestly it rubd my entire day and i could not think. People need to know this stuff could happen. It was ambers cousin recording all that. She stopped recording so she could call ambers family in texas and eventually they were able to find out ambers dad was fine but they could not get a hold of hill for a while. Nobody wired money but shawn and tony a scary situation for the family today. So i know amber called us because she wanted people to hear about this. Did she call police . She did. She lives in Fauquier County and we checked with the sher this wint on and unfortunately it can be hard for police to prosecute this. Often times these people are in other countries and its easy to fake your phone number whats known as spoofing you really hear of arrests in this these cases. Thats why we wanted to let people know what to look out for. Thank you so much. Thank you, lindsay.
