"Mom, I went out with tommy and we got car jacked. They drove us in to the middle of nowhere and I don't know where we are. I'm calling from a payphone because my cellphone died. They took our wallets, I have no money. Please help me mom" Your plan doesn't work mate. This isn't at all a simple situation to negoitate.

@ygt-cd3mg Public phones are mostly free for domestic calls these days. But let's say they aren't were you are, making a short call from a public phone isn't expensive. Perhaps they got help from a stranger for some change. Normal people when faced with a traumatic crime will call a loved one first to get to safety. There's actually nothing unreasonable about that. Almost no one immediately calls police in that kind of scenario, they call a loved one and file a police report once they have things sorted a bit. See what you're actually doing mate is trying to convince yourself that this is something that happens to other people, people who are gullible or excitable, but not to you. The reality is though you're not special and you're just as susceptible as everyone else. If anything trying to convince yourself of this makes you more susceptible

Who said the call was coming from a no caller ID? Spoofing a phone number is trivial in 2023, there are pages of search results for commercial companies that will help you spoof numbers for a nominal fee. The call comes in from your loved ones phone number, it sounds like your loved one. Guess what most people expect in that situation? The reality of deep fakes is you can no longer trust any interaction with another person that does not take place physically in person.
