Fran Marie catches up with Shelley Lynch our Public Affairs Officer with the FBI Charlotte Division about financial sextortion cases on the rise.
If you have been a victim contact local law enforcement or the FBI at tips.fbi.gov or the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov,
Do not delete anything on your device before law enforcement reviews it.
If sexually explicit images were shared online, visit the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s Take it Down tool or Is Your Content Out There? for potential removal.
Parents should talk to their kids about how financial sextortion happens. Scammers will create fake social media accounts to coerce victims into sending explicit photos or videos. The next step is threatening each victim to pay or have their explicit photos shared online with their family and friends.
