Authorities near Cincinnati are warning residents about a fake kidnapping scam circulating through the area.
The scam involves a phone call from a random number that, when answered, features the voice of a panicked child saying "They have me" and "I'm in a white van," according to the sheriff's office.
The Boone County Sheriff's Office advises parents who become targets of the "virtual kidnapping ransom scam" to take immediate steps to verify the whereabouts of their child and to check social media privacy settings to make sure sensitive information that can be used against them can not be viewed by the public.
