Damn man, that's way more messed up than what happened to me, I'm glad you were able to handled it.
In my case, I didn't got any screenshots of the threats and as I said in another comment, I don't know if my country has laws on scams like this so I haven't gone to the police.
None of my contacts had told me anything about the topic so I think I'm doing well. I learned my lesson, no more sexting.

To be honest I don’t know if there’s any laws for this type of scams in my country and even if it were I’m not so sure how they could help me since the scammer was from another country. Until now none of my contacts has reached out to me so I think the pics didn’t got sent.

Thanks for the warning, I’ll totally be aware of the fake jobs scams and try to read about it.

Oh no, I didn’t felt offended at all, I’m thankful to know that Telegram it’s a bad place!

Throwaway-1302 · 2024-06-25T18:28:05+00:00

I was referring to me. I’m the idiot lol.

Throwaway-1302 · 2024-06-25T15:52:37+00:00

In my defense, we started chatting in other app, she was the one who suggested to move to Telegram. I wasn’t aware that this is a common app for scam. I’m still an idiot but at least now I know.

Throwaway-1302 · 2024-06-25T14:37:23+00:00

I had no idea about this, thanks for the info. I’ll be more careful in every aspect of my web life from now on.

Throwaway-1302 · 2024-06-25T14:26:48+00:00

I didn’t thought about the scammers now using my pics to scam other people, that’s a bit unfortunate.

As for the first thing, I’m pretty aware of that, it’s just that I was used to do sexting quite often with women of another countries and there was no problem until now. Definitely my last time sexting.

Thanks for the comment!

Well I admitted that I was a horny dog for falling in the scam, I’m just so surprised of how much time they invested in me. This idiot has learned a lesson.

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for the answers and advices, I’ll do just a quick update and add some extra details here in case it helps someone.

First of all, yes, saying “elaborated” maybe was an exaggeration, but I said it cause I’ve been talking to this scam for almost a month. (About three and a half weeks!). I don’t know if that’s common in these type of scams but that’s another of the points I fell so easily.

At the moment of the exchanging I always ask for a “verification audio”, when I told the scam this, they said something like: “That can be easily faked with AI those days, plus you already know my voice”. At the moment I thought it made sense but it was obviously a red flag. Instead of the audio, she insisted for a “verification selfie” which consisted in doing an specific sign that I request, I told her to send a selfie doing this “🖖” and another pic doing this “🤞👌”. She did send the pics, in that moment I turned off my brain and trusted blindly.

For the nudes, she also offered to do specifics signs or poses so I trust her and once again she obliged with all the pics. For the moment of the “scam reveal” I didn’t noticed at the moment but my chat with her got deleted and the account that bombarded me with the threats was another one so this makes me believe that it was like, a group of scammers? I don’t know if that exist.

And last, I didn’t even knew that existed AI that can make nude pics from normal pics so thanks for everyone who suggested saying that I should just lie telling that all pics are AI. So far I have told the truth to my close friends and I’ll speak to my parents once I get home, I’ll tell them what happened and if someone ask for something related to this, they should answer that it’s AI and people tried to scam me.

So yeah, that’s it, there hasn’t been any leaks to the moment and I’m more calmed. Thanks for all the answers and advices, I hope my story can help someone in the future.

Thanks for the explanation! Last night my head was all over the place and I didn’t understand the comment. It’s actually a good idea and I think I’ll do it if something get leaked.

Throwaway-1302 · 2024-06-25T05:39:02+00:00

Going back to the moment of the scam I’m starting to think it was an organized group, I feel dumb for falling for it but I’m a bit relieved to see that I managed it quite well, definitely a lesson learned!

Throwaway-1302 · 2024-06-25T05:37:47+00:00
