RANSOM is a short film based on true events:

a fake kidnapping scam with real-life 

financial and emotional consequences.

​

RANSOM raises awareness of telephone scams,

empowering seniors and their families with this

simple, analog solution:

​

Talk with your loved ones, and agree on a code

word or story that only you could know. If

contacted by a "kidnapper," ask for the code word. 

A scammer will simply hang up.
