Toronto police are investigating a scam that has lead to two missing Chinese international students. The students are being contacted by what police describe as an “unknown” person, and are told that their families in China will be hurt. The unknown person then proceeds to contact the students’ families in China, telling them that their son or daughter has been kidnapped and demanding ransom. Police believe two students, Juanwen Zhang, 20, and Ke “Jaden” Xu, 16, are victims of the scam and are seeking the public’s assistance in locating them. Zhang was last seen Wednesday at 1:45 p.m. in the area of Yonge St. and Grenville St.
