Netizen reports:
Kidnappers have now started targeting chefs, with two chefs kidnapped in just one weekend, demanding 700,000 RMB!
No chat screenshots available, the chefs are our fellow villagers. The information is confirmed to be accurate.
Many companies have recently moved away, reminding chefs and employees who stay in the Philippines to find work to be cautious.
The two chefs were kidnapped yesterday. Such kidnappings are usually very precise; how would I, a chef, expect someone to target me instead of the boss or other employees?
The kidnappers pretended to recruit chefs for a cooking trial, then drove to pick them up and carried out the kidnapping. After being kidnapped, the chefs were able to call their families, reporting that there are already over ten people kidnapped there!
Not just chefs, anyone looking for a job might be told that a car will pick them up for an interview. Most likely, they end up kidnapped too! There have been too many reports on this!
Among those ten or so people, there are definitely chefs and other employees looking for work. Knowing they are small fry, the kidnappers only asked for 700,000 RMB, but this amount can completely drain the savings of ordinary workers. Really, be careful.
Currently, many businesses in the Philippines are moving out, and employees are leaving, but kidnappers still want to have a good year. As a last resort, they are targeting people around them, so at this critical moment, no matter what industry you are in, be careful and have a safe new year!
