FIRST: A message from Steve Birt, from the Windsor & Ascot NHW Association:
Hi Jeff,
Is this how Sextortion cases begin

Steve.
Steve sent a screenshot of a ‘Friend Request’ he has received in Facebook from a very beautiful girl, ‘who lives in Rome, Italy’. Someone he does not know and never met !
Her message:
‘Hello, Facebook recommends you to be my friend, your number ‘?
Under her name is a line of text in Chinese characters !!!!
Steve immediately blocked her. YES ! I imagine this is exactly how it begins !
