Greetings All,
Yesterday evening, I fell victim to a ‘ransom honey pot’, in which I lost 560 USD, but as side losses, 2 bank accounts, 3 social media accounts, and any and all dignity. I will recount the events in detail, in the hope that members of this forum can do something about it. I could care less about the money, I just want the guy that did this to me to be put out of business, by any means necessary.
NOTE: this account is a throwaway. It is not tied to my identity. Hopefully for obvious reasons, I do not wish to reveal any of it.
ALSO NOTE: there will be a bulleted information below for the convenience of quick reference.
With that out of the way, here goes nothing.
Yesterday afternoon. I came across an account on the platform Yubo of an attractive woman. Said account asked that if we wanted to chat, to go add her snapchat. One of the tags on the account was gymnastics, which was what I was primarily adding the woman for, to talk gymnastics. So I go to snapchat and add one susan_jan2000. The username was the same on Yubo, fwiw. After adding the account, and being added back, I struck up a conversation with this woman. She asked me what I did and what my hobbies were. After which she asked if I wanted to exchange, in the most sfw way I can put it, explicit pictures. Of course, being a 2 brained man, I agreed. I was instructed as to how I was to position myself for “Her viewing pleasure”. There was also an understanding that there would be no screenshotting. I sent a picture, received a picture back. Then I was asked to send a video, I sent a video, and when I was to receive her video, I received screenshots and screen recordings of what I sent and all of my mainstream social medias. The what turned out to be a man on the other end of the screen formed a chat with all of my instagram followers and threatened to send my explicits to the group chat if I didnt follow his exact instructions. First I was instructed to send $500 “To make it go all away”. My options to send were Zelle, Cashapp, and, I cant remember the 3rd one, maybe Paypal?. Point being, the first method I had to try was Cashapp, as I was “Taking too long” with Zelle. I got it set up, sent screenshots of me going throughout the process, and was sent instructions to send to the cashapp $GLOMAN300600. after sending and waiting for confirmation, the guy tried to get me to do something with Bitcoin on cashapp. However, all payments were denied through cashapp and I had to go through the Zelle route. After enrolling in zelle, I was instructed to send money to the email “crystalviolet333@gmail,com” (period replaced with comma to avoid hyperlink). The name listed when sent to that email was not crystal violet, however, it was one “Sharde Olive” whether that could be the scammer or an associate of a scammer, I have no clue. After sending the $500 to this email, I thought my troubles would be over. However, this dude said “Send me 1K to Zelle”. After showing and explaining that I did not have 1K to my name, he asked me to send my remaining $65 dollars to a different email Via Zelle, which I did not notate. Again, I thought my troubles were over. Nope. I was accused of lying about how much money I had, and was forced to hand over my bank login info so that he could “check”. After, I was asked if I had coinbase, I didnt, so I was asked to set up bank accounts with Indi, USAA and Citi bank in my name. I ws done at the point when the guy asked me to do those things, plus send a picture of my debit card. I cut my losses, deleted my snapchat, instagram, and facebook, and closed my 2 bank accounts. I have no clue what, if anything has happened to me online at this point. I dont want to or care to know. I am going to be laying low for quite some time.
