Are there any other details you wish to share? Anything you say may help prevent someone else from being scammed.: I did not give her my FB profile but in the message where asked for money, she searched for my name and found a different Shoaib.
She contacted me on Hinge and then got me to talk on Snapchat. Then she began sending me explicit messages and encouraged me to send her back.
Please help me, I am not sure if they will post my recordings on Facebook.
