Engaging on dating and social media platforms can be exciting, but be cautious.
If someone begins requesting naked photos of you—especially of a personal nature—never send them, no matter the pressure.
Scammers often lure people by sending fake images of “themselves” and persuading you to reciprocate.
Do not be fooled.
The latest scam involves pressuring people into sending explicit photos, only to threaten to publish these images on your social media accounts or share them with your family and friends if you don’t pay a ransom.
This is blackmail and extortion, serious crimes with potential jail sentences of up to 10–15 years.
Scammers use unregistered cell numbers and fake social media accounts to appear untraceable, but authorities can track them using GPS coordinates, IP addresses, and other digital trails.
So, the best advice is simple: never send explicit pictures and never pay any money.
Protect yourself from becoming their next victim by staying vigilant and keeping your private information safe.
