Description

Started with a Whatsapp message including information about my brother, a FB photo of my brother and porn pictures that aren't my brother. They were accusing my brother of being a pedophile. They are wanting a ransom from my brother. They are threatening to contact my female clients if my brother doesn't pay a ransom. They are calling/texting/emailing me non-stop. I haven't spoken to them because I immediately recognized this as a scam.
