Thank you so much!!:) an I have one last thing. I set up google alerts with my name as the alert. What would the scammer post the video as so I can search for it if it's up? Do they use YouTube? Facebook? What would they title it ? Please help this would put me at ease but hearing from no one on Facebook for a full day since the appernt upload I think they were just saying and not doing

It's just idle threats. They would use your real name if that's what they have. If they ever did put it on youtube or FB, it would get deleted and their account closed as soon as it was noticed by Mods, or someone complained about it, which would not be very long. Posting it on FB blows their cover, and they would have to use different email, chat id, and new FB profile. Then, they would have to notify all their other potential victims on the hook of the new information. That is work to a scammer, and they do not like spending time with no payout and risk losing victims by changing. They will only do that if they have to. Each day that goes by, you will stress less about it.

If you could step out of your shoes for a moment and look at this from an outsider's perspective you might even smile to see these words coming from a Marine.

You must be young and this might not make you feel any better but, you're human and you made a human mistake. People who know you and love you won't care about this in the least. If anything it will put others at ease to know that you're not perfect and therefore are less likely to judge them for their own human mistakes.

Hi there everyone. I recently experienced the exact same situation with very similar details.

Original Contact - Added me on FB as "Bridgett Lincon" and messaged me stating she recognized me. Added her back and conversed for about 48 hours off and on. During this time she claimed to be an event planner and worked in Tampa Florida. Age stated was 22. She soon as me if I Skype'd in which I agreed to do. She stated she was using her "cousins" account and ask if that was alright... This was the earlier mentioned sandy.anderson20 account listed from california. Should have noticed things here but I was naive. We Skype'd a few times and on the third time she asked to basically expose ourselves at the same time. She then recorded the remainder and threatened to blackmail me with it showing the recording and a link to my friends. The blackmail consisted of the exposure or "voting for her on these sites"... Unfortunately I was terrified and complied to her request and created an account with about 6 different porn and dating sites till I convinced her I was out of money. She then said she would keep the video seeings how I never "voted" and instructed not to block her or cancel any memberships or she would ruin me. I waited till the next night and blocked her, secured all of my social sites and canceled all memberships and accounts. No contact, has been made in over 24 hours. I too have put out a Google alert in case of new postings. She cost me about $130 unfortunately. One of the most interesting things is I am too am in the Marine Corps and she declared knowledge of the UCMJ and included that in her threats. Let me know if there is any more info you want but that is all I have time for now. Very scary thing to endure. The sites included hookup.com, citysex.com, preciouscams.com, benauhty.com, and a few others.

stevanb,

I'm sorry that you were scammed. Do you have this scammer's EXACT FB profile name from the address bar, the FB URL of the scammer?
