Are there any other details you wish to share? Anything you say may help prevent someone else from being scammed.: I believe that the account they were using was to be one that they add purchased from someone, as it had lots of followers already and followed lots of people. They messaged me first, and seemed like a genuine person. They asked for my snapchat and starting talking to me on there asking if 'I wanted to join them for a shower'.
I spoke to the police and told them everything that happened.
