Security Tales: Fake Call

- Good morning, boss!
- Good morning, Rita! What happened? Didn't get enough sleep? Maybe you should go home and rest? You look tired!
- Thank you, boss, I think I really need your help. And I'd like to invite Mark and Karl too. The situation is very unusual. And then, with your permission, I'll go home. I practically didn't sleep all night.
- Sophie, please invite Mark and Karl into the office! And please make us some coffee with liqueur!
- Rita with cognac! Okay? And here are the guys. I ask everyone to come to the table. Guys, not a word about this conversation to anyone. Rita is in trouble and, as I understand, serious.
- Not that serious, thank you, boss! There were some problems at night, but I solved them. But for others, they could very well happen again.
- So, Rita, tell me!
— It’s simple. At night, I received a call from my little sister, saying that she had been kidnapped and was being asked for a ransom. I always record all conversations. So, I can swear, it was her voice calling! They were urgently asking for a ransom. I was talking to her, and I automatically sent a request to her smartphone to find out where she was. And imagine my surprise when I saw that her phone was at home. And why was she calling me? In short, I said that I understood everything and asked the kidnappers to call again, since I don’t keep that kind of money at home. I hung up and called my sister back. My sister was indignant for a long time that I woke her up at two in the morning, but when she heard it, she was just as puzzled as I was.
- So she was at home?
- Of course. And it was all a scam. But that's not what's interesting, and that's not why I invited you all. What's interesting is that not only I couldn't distinguish my sister's voice, but neither could Mom and Dad. How?
