Hi all,
Yesterday I was stupid enough to be scammed by some {yes, a bad word. edited.} in Morocco (apologies for the language). I was browsing on Chat Random when suddenly a mid-20's looking girl appeared on screen she had long brown wavy hair and a dark tan. She started taking off her shirt and bra and then started asking me to tell her what I wanted her to do, which she did, this made me feel that it was quite legit. So I start taking my clothes off and getting my bits & pieces out on screen, after a couple of minutes her screen went black so she gave me her Facebook profile to add so we could carry on there. I added her and spoke to her again, she then added me on Skype and we carried on talking there but wouldn't answer a video call, this is when I got quite suspicious. She then sent me a message listing approximately 20 Facebook friends and sent me a youtube link of myself doing silly things and that if I didn't pay her £300 these people would be seeing my video through private messages. I panicked immensely at the thought that some of my friends and family could be sent this video, I immediately flagged it and within a couple of minutes it was taken down off youtube. I agreed with her that I'd send her £200 via Western Union which I (regrettably) did just to stop her from sending this video to anyone. So after a couple of hours of trying to reason with her, she asked for another £100 I said no and that I wasn't going to send anymore money, I then received 2 more links one to a separate youtube video and another of a dailymotion video. I flagged them both and both were taken down, she then went offline. After that I immediately blocked her on Skype & Facebook, I then deactivated my Facebook account so she couldn't contact me through a different fake profile. I presumed that even if I blocked her and set my private setting to only friends that she could still contact me through one of my friends friends lists that she had so for the meantime I have deactivated my account. I know that I was stupid to do this type of thing in the first place and I'm even more stupid for actually sending her money but I didn't know what else to do. The thoughts I was having yesterday were atrocious it was one of the most horrible things I have ever felt in my life, I was contemplating suicide at one point. I have done everything that has been mentioned in earlier topics and I don't think this scammer has any way of contacting me.
What I wanted to ask is that now I have sent money to this piece of shit << [that word is ok. It's the "sexist slang" that is not ok.](apologies for the language again), is there anyway she could contact me and has anyone ever been through this to the point were the video was sent to friends & family? How long does this type of this usually last for? Some of the scams seem to last for a couple of days but now that I have already sent money do you think this person is more likely to come back?
Thanks for your time, reading this forum over the last 24 hours has helped me a lot, thank you.
