Yesterday afternoon I got a message from a Facebook friend I didn't recognize. I messaged her back and she was very friendly (so it seemed). She then started getting intimate so I played along and then she tells me to add her on Skype to video chat which I did. I started up a video chat and it seemed legit and she was half naked and told me to take off my clothes. For a minute I hesitated and then thought "why not". After a couple minutes of this she turns off her can and days hold on and that she has a surprise for me. Seconds later her screen reappears and I see the video of myself she recorded. She messaged a list of my closest friends and family that she got off of my Facebook account. She threatened me to send her $500 via western union otherwise she would post my video to my family's Facebook pages as well as YouTube and a military fan page (I'm in the military I will not enclose which branch). So I immidiately complied with her/his demands as this would destroy my reputation and possibly my career which in turn would destroy my entire future being as I am in the military. I tried wiring money via western union online and I told her one second and turned off my screen sharing as I types in my secure information, I typed a bunch of bogus info so I don't know, maybe I could get the money back by stating my card was stolen. Western union caught on to the fake information and the only way I could send the money now is by cash at a local western union branch which I would not be able to claim as fraud/or a stolen card. I thought, "oh well" so I go to western union and now she is messaging me via phone to make sure I am still complying. I send the money, she confirms it and says she'll be back to show that she deleted the video. I never got proof that the video was in fact deleted, and late last night she messaging me a bogus story saying how she needs more money and still has the video. By this time I did some research on this type of scam and saw the advice on this website so I didn't reply and blocked all communication with "her" at this point. She still has my number but has stopped messaging me as I have not replied. I reported her on Facebook and Blocked her from Skype and Facebook as well as changed all of my passwords and even ordered a new bank card in case she saw the info on wwstern unions site. Will this person actually post the video to Facebook??? Please help. Right now I am at work so ill provide the info I currently have and add more info when I can get back to my computer in a few hours.
