Brittany Keogh is a reporter for the New Zealand HeraldA Kiwi father on holiday with his family in Bali was kidnapped for more than four hours and forced to pay a card game which scammed him out of $2000. The Kiwi "started to get quite fretful" because he had no idea what the strangers were capable of. "He tried to do what he was told because he was obviously quite scared by that stage," his wife said. The local man forced the New Zealander to play a round before telling him he had to "up the stakes" by betting money. The wife said the experience had been "really terrifying" and wanted to warn other Kiwi travellers of the scam.
