SORRY TO SAY – YET ANOTHER SEXTORTION !
A young man was contacted on Instagram, by what he thought was a woman called ‘Jayne’, who lived in New York. They talked for a week.
Eventually they started to share intimate photos and videos. Immediately, he received a message demanding £200, or the images would be shared with everyone in his personal contact list. He did nothing and then received further messages demanding £250 as his response was so slow. He sent them £250 and has now received a further demand for another £350 !
He has now closed all his social media accounts.
PLEASE – do not do, say, write, text, photograph, video anything online / via your phone that you would not be happy for your family, relatives, neighbours, friends, work colleagues, employer - everyone in your contact list - to see !
