Many scammers are operating out of foreign countries. This wasn’t likely an actual friend or acquaintance in the area.

Lots of them are Africans or indians. For what it's worth, the feds do try and track down and prosecute these. OP is right, teach your kids that even if this does happen, temporary embarrassment is nothing

Same. Not really a conversation I'm excited about having but they need to know the big picture.

There was a big story about this not long ago, they send a text/email/DM pretending to be the opposite sex and convince them to send nude pics/etc, then threaten to release the pics unless the victim sends them money, usually in crypto so it's not easily traced.

Guess I don't understand how all that works. I just assume it was bullying type crap between kids who know each other.

Our daugher is 11 & they were pretty close cousins.
We decided to have to have a proactive & straight-forward talk with her tonight.
Sexting is not ok and not something we approve of. If her, or her friends, ever make a mistake and get threats she can come to us ...with ending the threat/scare being our #1 goal.
We will explain kids send nude pictures and this is a realistic consequence.

I’ll just pray and push religion instead of addressing issue

Sounds like the one where you get an email from someone who claims they have videos of you jerking it or whatever from your webcam.
Unless there are cameras in the company bathroom, looks like I am safe

1. Teen makes "friend" online vis chat, games, etc. 2. "Friend" asks for private chat and asks for "sexy" pic of boobs, butt, etc. 3. "Friend" says "I'll post that photo online if you don't send me more". 4. Teen sends riskier photos to keep from being publicly exposed. 5. The cycle continues farther down the spiral.
Jesus
I see some of my friends’ kids that want to get on all these apps that basically just look like they’re completely geared towards sex predators

I used to be a cop. I dont even know what sextortion is

It’s more sophisticated than that. They’re basically catfished by a scammer. Scammer provides provocative pic, asks for a pic in return, once they have enough embarrassing photos, they then demand payment not to publish them. Young kids without perspective feel their life is over and seek a permanent fix to a short term problem.
I’d imagine they may even just convince the kid to touch themselves or such and then claim they have a photo from the webcam. Perhaps they can entrap a kid just by the claim without having to prove they actually have a photo.

This is really sad.
Several years ago, when one of my friends sons was in middle school he was talking about how being a kid in today's world is so much different.
Before, if a kid was picked on a lot at school. They got to go home and get a break from it... The weekends.. Holidays. But today, it can be non stop. With smart phones, social media/text... It can be constant.
It used to be when a kid did something or had something other kids might want to do or have, they just came to school and talked about it. Sometimes people would think they were lying even so it was.. whatever, but today they are sending pictures and for the parents, if one parent does something for their kid then there will always be others who try to one up the next one. It really does all seem too much..
But then there is this as well. These are kids, there lives are right now. And they don't have life experience. This is really sad.

Teens have low self-esteem.
These lowlifes prey on that vulnerability.

Too much unsupervised time online. It can happen really fast too. It's a shame. Most of the times it's kids you wouldn't suspect. They are more shy and less likely to ask for help. They engage in the behavior, because they are wanting to fit in.
Smart phones and social media are more of a plague for teens than a tool.

First week in 7th grade, an Indian girl started taking pictures of my son at lunch and sending them to her snapchat groups, for some reason. As my kid does not have Snapchat (or any other social media), he was warned by other kids that she was doing this. Had to get the VP of discipline involved to get this little shite to stop.
That's not even sexual, but still creepy.
Even worse, it's essentially impossible to get a group project done without Facetime. Same 7th grader was doing homework on the way to practice in the backseat, and I hear him shaming a girl that kept taking screenshots of the group chat. I would have high fived him had I not been dodging Challengers, Chargers and motorcycles with no lights at night on I-10.

They will also hack emails and threaten to send to everyone in the list if you do not send. That hits closer to home when threatening to send to family members and has an even greater impact/success rate for them,
As for sending more pics threat, sometimes they demand money instead.
Posted on 12/11/24 at 2:21 pm to GreatLakesTiger24
Yeah the scammers will send a screenshot of the teens social media followers and all his family and friends and threaten to send the pics/video if they don’t send money.

No woman would want a dick pic before meeting. If these are fake profiles scamming, that means the guy is sending before even meeting girl. Assume a scam. No real woman wants that before and highly likely even after meeting. But at least then you know she's real.
