I had been using a dating site for a few weeks, a few days ago a pretty Asian girl started messaging me. After a few messages she asked me to add her on Facebook, I asked why and then added her anyway (moron). Once on Facebook she started talking about video messaging, I said that I have Skype and she gave me her account details. Once on Skype she asked me if I was alone, when I said yes she asked me to call her. We all know the next part of the story, then my video was on YouTube. I immediately flagged it as sexual content and it was removed, all the while she was messaging me on Skype demanding money otherwise the video will go to my family and friends. I went along with it, while she was demanding the money I was deactivating my Facebook account.
I got as far as the Western Union sign up page, searching around for my credit card which, fortunately, I never found. By this time she was getting really pushy on Skype, "hey, I'm getting pissed off here", "Don't f*ck with me" , "what's taking so long" etc. At that point I thought sod this and just blocked her on Skype and left it. The video was gone from YouTube at this point and I left the room for 5 mins.
When I came back she was messaging me the dating site, "hey", "what now" etc, I just clicked the block button there too and have not heard anything since, they have no other way of contacting me. I reported the account to Facebook. I was prepared for the video to surface the next day, I hardly slept that night. My concern was that they had noted my Facebook contacts before I blocked them, I checked my daughters account and she cannot receive messages from strangers, so all good there.
So far so good, nobody has messaged me to tell me they've seen my video. What I took comfort from before finding this site was that I'm sure if a person who's completely random, messages you on Facebook it doesn't go to your inbox but to a completely different folder that most people don't know about.
I found this site yesterday and the advice here is fantastic, I'm glad that I took all the steps before reading this, unfortunately I reported the profile although I haven't heard back from Facebook about this and the profile is still active.
Of course there's a nagging worry that the video will surface, however if they message 10 of my friends then that's 10 more chances of them getting caught, I'm sure as you say they're onto there next victim, probably tried it on many since. To them I'm just one that didn't pay off.
I'm going to keep my Facebook deactivated for a month or so, I can live without it. In the meantime I'm keen to actively search out these people, obviously without getting naked this time, in order to post them to this site if that helps, does anyone else do this?
