Are there any other details you wish to share? Anything you say may help prevent someone else from being scammed.: User matched with me on Fairytrail. The app has the option to link Instagram accounts. I add user on Instagram and we began chatting. User immediately tries to video chat through Instagram but I decline. The next day, her Instagram account is deleted. We message on Fairytrail again. She says she’s taking a break from social media and asks to video chat on Discord. We video chat and after she sees me naked she sends a message threatening to send the video to my Facebook/Instagram friends/family/work. She includes screenshots of the video files on her desktop and of my Facebook friends list. She demands $700 to be paid through Remitly. She then demand $700 more and begins with more threats. Xoom has a fraud alert when I try to send it so she tellls me to use Wise. I ended the conversation before I downloaded it. She began to coundown from 10 or she’ll send samples of the video to people. She shared a screenshot of an all caps message type but not sent to my employer’s Asian Facebook page.
