PLEASE READ EVERYONE. I was scammed by a man named Soufiane Boutanout, a man from Morocco who claimed to be a 23 year old name Kelly Adam. Thinking it was her, I sent a live video of myself, to which he revealed who he really was and threatened to post the video on YouTube. Panicking and this never happening to me before, I sent $1000 to him via RIA. However, after lodging a complaint via this site and realizing these sickos just want to threaten and intimidate you, I decided to not be a victim and cancelled the transaction before he was able to pick up the money. Because I stupidly shared my phone number with him on Snapchat (I am regretting it, as well as this whole encounter), he called me roughly 15 minutes after I cancelled the transaction leave a choppy distorted message but calling me a mother ****** during it. It was absolutely coming from a burner phone and the number couldn't be traced, but the zip code was from Columbus, Ohio. I had a massive panic attack. I made a terrible mistake, but will learn from this. I am worried that the video will leak on YouTube, but I also know that YouTube will immediately take down and flag something if it is inappropriate and/or graphic. Please watch out for this dude and do not forget the name that he uses Kelly Adam (although by now, he may have changed it already...) Thank you all for reading this. Any further guidance and support would certainly be appreciated.
