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.: They won't show the girls' face until you show yours, no audio during the video. They spoke in bad Spanish and sometimes in french, seems like they were dealing with various victims at the moment and confused the chat. Stupid mistake, first and last time. They will put extra pressure in order for you to panic and agree to their requests. They even posted the video on one of my photos on FB but I reacted immediately and erased it. They wanted the money for their sister who has cancer, like 12 hours later. I reported the FB account and they closed it and also reported the You Tube account where it showed a video of some other guy, and they also closed the account. I did not send the money, based on all the information I was able to read.
