Mikeyboy 27134 Report post Posted August 17, 2023 Are these from ads that you contacted? If so then sounds like details in the warning section with specifics might be appropriate. Not something anyone should have to go through. Best of luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karltrucker 15 Report post Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Hey Mikeyboy, actually they are random texts that seems to go around and around, and I'm sure will continue. Just scammers trying to scare us into sending money, typical B.S . I just block and delete, same old scam B.S ,different day, lol. Have a good one ,cheers Edited August 19, 2023 by Karltrucker 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raven1974 34 Report post Posted August 20, 2023 I ran into this a few times when I was in US. When I first looked here I found some of the same ads that were running there. I mentioned them to the site I was looking at and they seemed to remove them immediately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harboursmoke 3087 Report post Posted September 17, 2023 Most of these are just intimidation tactics. But it never hurts to report to the PD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coco1 45 Report post Posted September 18, 2023 Yes it can be terrifying. Happened to me in Italy. I contacted a few working girls through online advertising and between language barriers and lack of local city knowledge it didn’t pan out. Shortly after I got a message saying I was wasting the girls time and if I didn’t pay 5k US myself and/or my family was in trouble. They said they had mafia ties and texted me absolute brutal pics of tortured corpses. Twice I blocked them only to be contacted by another number with increased threats. My heart was beating out of my chest for a time there. Then once I calmed down and thought it over I went and got a new SIM and #. Problem solved, but not without some very angst filled moments.
