re: Talk to your teen boys and young men

Sending nudes to people is stupid and always has negative consequences.

The article I read regarding this is that the 19 year old boy this happened to fell for the scam, couldn’t pay, and killed himself within 2-3 hours of initial contact. Nobody knew what was going on. He panicked and made an awful decision. Poor kid and poor family.

Why can’t you just use the English language as it was intended? just say masturbate, or jack off, or any other common term for yanking on your dick. “Communicating” isn’t one of them. This isn’t 4th grade reading class. You are allowed to say jack off without repercussions.
I had no idea what the frick you were talking about here until someone asked the question if they were masturbating.

Lol that scam existed online when I was in college 12 years ago.

Happened to me once. I didn’t pay, nothing ever got sent. I didn’t care if they did send it anyways

But to you youngins on social media, random hot chicks you’ve never met don’t message you to exchange lewd pics out of the blue. If this happens it’s a scam. Don’t fall for it

How does a kid born in the 2000s fall for something like this?

Someone tried to scam me yesterday. I realized very quickly what was going on, so I played along to drive the plot a bit and see what their angle was. Sounds similar to this.

I was at a job site walk through and got a text from a number I didn’t have (New York City area code), checked it later and it simply said “are you ok?” I’ve deleted a lot of numbers over the past couple years, and know people all over the country through my work, so I figured it may be someone I knew but hadn’t kept their contact.

My response was “I’m fine, but I don’t have this contact saved, who is this?” They responded, “my assistant gave me the wrong number, I’m sorry.” I said no problem and went on with my work… then they respond shortly thereafter saying “well you are a nice person so I’ll introduce myself, my name is Elena and I am from Belarus. I have lived in the country for 5 years, and I run a Mothersworks company in LA.” Then sends a pic of a hot blonde, mid-20s.

So I started fricking with them even more to drive the convo and see what their angle was. Finally they asked me if I would want to chat on Telegram, which is a similar product as WhatsApp.

At this point I told them scammers were somewhere between the white discharge that drips out of a dog’s dick when they’re in the sitting position and the runny shits of a crack head.

The “are you ok?” approach is to lure in elderly or youth. Anyone with a semblance of a bullshite meter should detect their scam immediately.

They solicit compromising pictures of the young man and threaten to distribute the photos to all of the young fellows phone contacts unless they pay money.

Instead of typing out masturbating, he put 'communicating'. He communicated to us like a 12 year old which is probably the same way he talks to his kid that was jerking off with a man and now daddy is out of 2k and it's not happy time at home right now
