Description

This scam is really Internet and social media platforms in particular WhatsApp. It is a Blackmail attempt trying to get me to pay her$100.00 or she go viral on all the platforms with one inappropriate video of myself that I sent her. It was an attempt that I made to take a video of myself without any close on. She says that if I don’t pay her she will send the video to all of my family, all of my friends and then post it on all of the social media including Facebook so everyone will can see it. She basically said she will take the video and go viral with it. I did not pay her with an Credit Card, I paid her with an Apple Card.
