Unread postby RickyMarcus » Sat Jul 07, 2012 8:00 am

Hello everyone, I know this has happened before, but here is my problem.
I was on facebook and a good looking girl Sandy Martins sent me a message. I noticed that she was a mutual friend of one of my facbook/coworker friends. She noticed that I was in the Air Force and I recieved a very nice message about serving my country. We became facebook friends and I saw her online. We used the chat feature and she asked if I had Skype. I said yes and we began to Skype. We send many messages back and forth and then she wanted to use the cam feature. We did and the sound did not work. She said her microphone was broken. She signed on and off a few times and then said only video will do with the chat feature. So after that she said I was really cute and started to show me her priviate parts and begged me to join in. I was super stupid and showed her my private area for a while. After all the so called fun was over she asked me to do her a favor and go to a web site and vote for her on a model listing. She said that she really needed my help and my vote would help her. So I went to the site and it was a paysite for porn. I said to her in the skype chat that she may have given me the wrong site. After some back and forth chat, she said that I had to get a log in and then go to the voting section. I told her I was not comfortable with paying for the site. Thats when all the HELL started. She started the web cam again on skype and it was me on the other side of the web cam conversation. She had it all, and it revield my face and my private area!! Then she said that she would post the video online to all my friends and family. Also she said that she would post it to all the people on the United States Air Force facebook site!! I gave in and joined the site. I did use my old bank accout that hardly has any money in it. Its being cancelled very soon. I thought I was done after that, and then she said I needed to join another site. I could see where this was going. I then found this site and realized it was a scam and I'm not alone. I blocked her on facebook, called my buddy that she was friends with, and told him what happpend. He was going to talk to her himself, but thank got I stopped him. I reported her page on facebook as fake and a spammer and gave a breif decription of what happended. Durring all this she was still texting me on skype and threatening me with the upload of the video. I told her (the Scamer) that I was having problems with my bank and was loging into the website to get the card to clear. She said take your time and get back with me. I told her I was going to join the site. I never joined that one. There were more texts on Skype and she said she was going to go and get something to eat and would be back. After about 15 minutes she was back and asked if I was still there? Then I got about 10 more texts with just a " ? " I never responded and have not heard back in over an hour now. So you think I am safe??? Help Please!! I feel so STUPID right now. Could this ruin my carrer??? I'm a disgrace to the uniform and feel like I have let the people of my country down :(

Her profile name was : Sandy Martins
She claimed that she was from Canada and now living in Fresno California and becoming a model.
Her Skype ID is Sandy.Martins92

Skype says she was born on July 20th, 1992

I hope that info helps everyone.

Hello and welcome RickyMarcus. I am so sorry you have been scammed. What you are dealing with has become a huge problem lately.

First, I want to tell you that I think you are terribly courageous to step up and speak about what happened. There are a lot of men who would let shame prevent them from reaching out for help. Good on you.

I am not an expert on the technicalities regarding the bank account or pay porn sites, but my advice would be to delete that bank account ASAP. Also, close your facebook account, block the scammer from skype, sms, instant messaging, email, phone ... EVERYTHING.

Blackmail only works when there are two or more people in a negotiation. Without you to negotiate with the scammer has something that has absolutely no worth. I personally could go on any number of dating sites for 5 minutes and find many men -- young and old -- who would do anything I asked on cam ... for free. (I don`t btw)

The only person who would likely pay for that video is you. If you refuse then it is worth nothing.

That doesn`t mean that the scammer won`t try to push the envelope with you. You will have to watch sites like Youtube and Google yourself over the next little while. Should anything show up it will be very easy to get it taken down unless it`s at an adult site. But the chance of the scammer posting the video at one of those is almost nil ... he or she wants your money ... the best way they know is to make you afraid that friends, family and co-workers will see it.

You are NOT a disgrace to your uniform. What you did was perfectly natural ... men were kinda `designed` to be proud of their parts and somewhat unabashed in their behavior. You are the yang to the yin of women, the balance that makes the species flourish.

To reiterate, (in case I went on too much about other things :D) -- ABSOLUTELY DO NOT ENTER INTO ANY COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR SCAMMER. Block, delete and deny any attempts of the scammer to contact you. Basically, go dead. Then give it a week or two, and with any luck the mofo will have moved on.
"It is good to see what is beautiful, but you must also observe the ugly things ... you must be awake to everything ... you must be exposed to things which you don't quite understand, for the more you ponder over these matters which may be difficult for you, the greater will be your capacity to live richly."

Don't feel bad Ricky. Lots of people get sucked in. Hopefully the damage will be minimal. I for one thank you for serving this great country. You're still human and can make mistakes. These scammers aren't human and never will be.

Hi Ricky! You're doing a great job by warning your friends. And though there's still a chance that your scammer may contact you again, you already know that to do...that is to never respond & remain quiet. Don't feel bad or stupid. Just this one mistake of yours will not make you less of a hero by serving this country, you are still are a hero. We all make mistakes, thus, the famous quote "To err is human." Regret that you did it but forgive yourself for doing it. The important thing is you learn from it. Take care.

Hi Ricky

Glad to see you telling your story - a scam is a scam be it for money or web cam exposure - no pun intended!! My scammer hit me for alot of money over a short period of time, the same as you were scammed by this little low life - it doesn't take them anytime to get into your head. Yes of course at first you are embarrassed and ashamed, but don't be, it isn't worth that kind of heartache, they are worthless beings, it is hard to acknowledge they are even human.

All the support information you have been given here is correct, have no further contact with this person and talk to people so they can be warned that this type of thing is going on. These blackmail scams/sextortion seem to be coming more and more often, so by you warning so many others, you are actually protecting them from this kind of scam and if you save one person from this type of scam, your mission is complete.

I wish you well, I know you will come through this as a much stronger person, and hold your head high, be proud of reporting this incident in your life, and be proud of what you are doing for your Country. As a Canadian, I salute you.

Sincerely, RF
A scammer is only as good as the fear he creates.

Hi, RickyMarcus,

sorry for your bad experience. If you stop all contacts with the person, you are lucky. So long "she" can not communicate with you, "she" can not have demands...

Thank you for those few informations posted about the scammer. We found some details about "her". But it would be great if you can give us one email adress used by this one and, if it´s possible, one header from this email adress. In this way, other potential victims can be aware about the scam and they can be lucky enough not to fall. It could be also good if you have any adress for the money delivery (where "she" told you to send the money).

And for the second person reported by you as scammer above, we need some details: email adress, why do you believe that she´s scammer, money request - chat log or text - if she asked for money, where have you meet her and where she pretends to be.

Now the fake model:

"She" is active on fastflirting.com:

hot.sandy19 is a 19 year old female from Fresno, United States.
Tagline: Life is an eternal quest about knowing oneself. It's time to challenge yourself.

Hey guys it's Sandy! :o) Everybody always asks how I got started with this, so here goes: I'd never had any modeling experience, but it was something I always wanted to try and now I'm on it; on my way to be a model and be known as great one. One time I went along with one of my friends to her photoshoot and ended up getting in front of the camera myself...This guy Felix saw my pictures and liked what he saw - and a few days after I turned 18 we met and started talking about joining on a modeling agencies and give myself a chance. Since then, we've been working really hard together to make videos and pictures that aren't only hot and sexy - but fun and cute too! I love making this photoshoots - it's probably the coolest job a girl can have just getting out of High School! Well, thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see you on... XOXO, Sandy :) ps. see me on skype: sandy.martins92 ( if you like ;)


The scammer use stolen pictures of Kari Sweets.

Yes that is her!! Unfortunatly I did not get an email adress from the scammer. I gave all information that I had. Not sure if that is the same Skype that this scammer is using. I changed my Skype account and have not logged into the old one for a few days. I'm glad that we are waring people on here :) Great job!!!!
