A woman faked her own kidnapping in an attempt to extort her mom out of €50,000 (RM225,238) – for the fourth time, according to authorities in Spain.

The mother received a video seeming to show her daughter being held hostage, a Sept 5 news release from Spain’s Civil Guard said. In the video, the daughter was blindfolded and gagged with a knife held to her neck, with what appeared to be a bit of blood by her mouth.
