“It was around 10 p.m. on a Friday night in Indiana when one young man began messaging with a pretty girl from Indianapolis on a dating app. Lying in bed feeling lonely and bored, he was exhilarated when she suggested they exchange nude photos.
Minutes later, he started violently shaking after the conversation took a turn. The woman was really a cybercriminal in Nigeria – and threatened to expose the nude photographs to his family and friends if he didn’t pay $1,000. The scammer had located his Facebook profile and compiled a photo collage of their sexts, nudes, a portrait from his college graduation and a screenshot of his full name and phone number.”
