What steps, if any, have you already taken to block the scammer?: The fb profile was blocked on its own.I blocked on skype. But i am overbearingly concerned about stopping any videos from being uploaded on a public site like youtube. Is there anything i can do pre-emptively to get in touch with facebook or youtube to set up a filter or atleast the video can get red flagged and i can get in touch with companies to take it down. I just do not how o do this. it will be of great help if you guys can assist. I am more than petrified at this point of time and foolishly paid $2000.
Are there any other details you wish to share? Anything you say may help prevent someone else from being scammed, no matter how trivial it may seem at the time.: It will be very useful if you guys explain on the website how to set up an alert if the video surfaces. The profile contained the same pictures as posted by straphappy and wayne. The FB profile claimed she was studying nursing in Melbourne.For a scamster the english was pretty good. That is something which lessened my suspicion.
