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.: I blocked the scammer on Facebook first, but because I had not read the advice on this website yet I didn't break all contact. I was still on Skype, he was really mad I blocked him on fb and threatened to release. We haggled for couple hours more, he also posted a YouTube link which I did not open. Now I'm worried that my video is still out there with no name so I cannot find it and take it down In the end I read the advice from here and blocked him in Skype, that broke all contact with the scammer. I made a mistake of deleting the chat, I should have kept the chat history so that I can take down the YouTube link. All this happened one month ago, on 2nd Jan 2015

DOB 2nd May 1993 from "calgery" Canada
