What you can do:
Immediately delete connection, block all communications and stay away from potential harm. He is not doing this alone. The person you exchange emails/texts with is NOT the same person you talk to on mobile/video calls.
Take screenshots of conversation, keep email trails for your own protection. Save copies of photos and document any vital information. This might come in handy in case things get any worse.
All photos, recorded messages or personal info you shared could be potentially be used as accessory to scam more people. Confide to a close friend or a family member and embarrassing as it may sound, you need emotional support regardless of how mentally, emotionally or financially impacted.
DO NOT at all cost, send money, gifts or even share your personal information. If you have done so, change all your passwords immediately and limit social media exposure
If you are brave enough,
The most reasonable thing to do is report this scam to the authorities. File a complaint to FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center – www.ic3.gov.
You may opt to send proof of scam to FTC, Bureau of Consumer Protection, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington DC 20580 or call them directly at (877) 382-4357; (866) 653-4261
Scam baiting is dangerous and NOT recommended. Those who opt to string along these scammers, please be careful.
Share your findings and stories so others may be saved. Education and awareness is the best form of vindication.
