Scammer approached on Instagram. Messaging with a intimate photo.
Requested moving to text so as to get more intimate. After an evening of
sexting with exchange of photos and video, scammer friends wife on
Instagram and s
Texts with request for $50 for an app to “block” wife. When I refused,
scammer sent my intimate photos via. Text with the demand for $1000 within
30 minutes or they would publish photos to family friends and coworkers.
Scammer asked that $800 be sent via. MoneyGram and $200 in itune cards.
When MoneyGram transaction appeared canceled, scammer demanded using
Western Union. My bank put a fraud alert out and stopped that transaction.
I convinced scammer to provide additional time so that I could procure
$1000 in iTunes cards. After return with the cards, I discussed the
situation with family and we elected not to send cards. Scammer then became
increasingly threatening. They sent the photos to me again and finally
threatened to call authorities as they were only 16 years of age. We have
notified Instagram with a report and plan to contact authorities.
