The world can be a scary and unpredictable place, full of dangers that can catch you off guard. It’s unfortunate that even today, some of these dangers persist, reminding us that certain threats are just part of human nature.
Over the years, we’ve made it a priority to share helpful tips and warnings with our readers, like how to spot signs of trouble and what certain strange things might mean—like finding a seemingly harmless water bottle on your car tire.
That’s why we feel it’s important to pass along information about a possible trick that criminals might use to lure unsuspecting drivers out of their cars late at night.
You might have heard of the “abandoned baby” method, but for those who haven’t, we came across a viral post from a concerned mother who wanted to warn as many people as possible about it.
Here’s how it works: Picture this—you’re driving down a dark, lonely road when you suddenly spot a stroller on the side of the road. Most people’s first instinct would be to slow down and take a closer look, and some might even stop the car and get out to check if everything’s okay.
But according to reports, that’s exactly what the criminals are counting on. They could be hiding nearby, ready to ambush anyone who stops.
“Yes, people lie in wait,” commented one Facebook user on the post. “At best, they rob you, at worst, they attack you too.”
Another user added, “I would just call the police to check it out. It sounds harsh, but it’s not worth the risk.”
Unfortunately, scams like these—taking advantage of people’s kindness—have been around for as long as we can remember, and they’re often successful at luring victims into situations they’d normally avoid.
The bottom line is that you should always stay alert, especially when you’re driving alone at night in remote areas.
