Started by asking if could come over and visit. They asked if I was alone and
wanted to have some fun. I do want to note that the actress in the video
was rather skilled at stripping. No beginners there. They started in chat
saying "do you want me to share or delete the video they kept of me?" I
told them no. They called using the app and a voice modulator and
threatened to send to friends/family on Facebook (my profile was set to
public at the time). I asked where to send the money to bide time. They
sent a link while I changed my profile settings. When I stopped responding
they sent a picture on Facebook saying there was a video of xxx
m***urbating after doing drugs. The grammar on the post was pretty bad. I
knew there was nothing I could do at the time to influence their decision
and they would probably not delete it if I paid or not, so I told them to
make to make sure the post was in HD and add my Instagram account. They
didn't appreciate that and tried counting counting to ten. I then turned my
phone off and went to sleep. When I woke up and checked the messages, it
looked like they gave up after me not responding for 5 hours. Quite a few
threatening messages and a list of my Facebook friends and their places of
work that I missed. I blocked their account on google hangouts and made a
Facebook post to ignore any links about me to avoid a similar issue or
potential virus. I haven't heard anything from anybody, so I assume they
gave up and moved on to people who were more likely to give them money. I
contacted OK Cupid and they said they found and deleted the account.
