Sorry i do not understand that parte about “abductions”, what do you mean?
And about “giving away” personal information it is the opposite, at least most americans and (north)europeans are “closed” to themselves.
Europeans from southern countries are more like us latin americans, friendly and open.
Maybe abductions isn’t the best word… Kidnappings? Everyone I know has emphasized on some - or several - occasions not to give away info and be trusting because of a supposed risk of being kidnapped for ransom, risk of burglary, etc. Never happened anything to me or people I know, but many people I know have had family or personal friends killed or kidnapped apparently just because, or to ask ransom, and several of my neighbours have had their homes broken into.

Abduction or kidnapping i guess you are talking about some places of México or Colombia, not the whole latin america.
