Scam Description
Persons from the social media app Instagram messaged me out of the blue. There were obvious signs that they were an sextortionist so I decided to play along and they moved the conversation to Whatsapp. They tried to message me numerous times in order to get me to call them in order to get video evidence of me doing whatever. I called and videoed one time and they got my face and room. Maybe that’s where I should have stopped messing around but I continued and did the deed with them. Apparently, it was a computer that was calling and video calling me with a person behind it all. After I made the mistake of doing the deed and was recorded. A person demanded $2000 in USD which I did not comply claiming I could not pay, I’m a child with no money. They threatened to send it to my friends on Instagram which I really don’t care and would reach my parents. I replied if I asked for money they would get the truth out anyways. So we bickered and I had some fun talking back and forth as he threatened and dropped the price to $500 and left the conversation saying they would send it or get money from Twitter and all that. If it does get out it would be a great help to get it off the internet with minor porn is illegal but I’m not afraid or worried about the embarrassment which I can take. I am just reporting this to make sure others who can’t handle the situation well get harmed the way I did. My plan for steading the spread of this true news of me is to spread fake news that it’s an advanced deepfake in which they got my face and room items from a call which I did with the user once.
I have a record of chat logs that I do wish to use as evidence but do not know where to put.
