Are there any other details you wish to share? Anything you say may help prevent someone else from being scammed.: This person will not send out your pictures, at least not right away, he loses all leverage if he does, say it’s impossible to send any money cause you don’t have any kind of cash app, he will stall and tell you “LAST CHANCE” but it’s really not, he said last chance to me at least 7 times, he even started counting down but he still hasn’t sent them out, if he thinks u CAN’T send him money, rather then you WON’t, you have a better chance of being left alone. Make it clear you can’t send him money. I basically told him I’m not doing it, just send out the pictures and I’ll have to deal with it but then I can be done with you. At this point he has left me alone and hasn’t sent anything out because he realized he wasn’t getting money and I didn’t care if he sent them out, so he hasn’t gone through the process of uploading them or sending them to family and friends. It’s just not worth it to him apparently.

I would have provided the Google chat email but as they are blocked i cannot see it, however it was just random letters and numbers so likely a throwaway.
