CHINESE STUDENTS, BELIEVED TO BE SCAM TARGETS, FOUND

Toronto police say three people believed to be victims of a scam targeting Chinese students have been located. Police say they believe the disappearances were linked to a scam in which Chinese students are told to go into hiding and stay off social media or their relatives in China will be hurt. The families in China are then contacted and told the student has been kidnapped, and are asked to pay a ransom. Investigators say Juan Wen Zhang, 20, who went missing Nov. 8 in Toronto, was located Saturday in Montreal. They say Yue (Kandy) Liu, 17, who disappeared Nov. 10, was found Sunday in Kirkland, Que. And Ke (Jaden) Xu, 16, who was last seen Nov. 9, was located Monday in Ontario.
