Brother being harassed online

[hellohellooo]

Hello all

Who do I report this too?

On a dating app he matched with a girl
Sent her pics etc

Now she /whoever they are are saying he needs to pay 500 pounds or they will create an insta account t with all the pics he sent
Some rude pics too 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😞

Who do you report it to? 😳

Do you mean other than the police?

How old is he? Is he old enough to know you don't send pictures of yourself like that, especially to some random online?

Report to the police - regardless of his age it's illegal to make threats of this type under the Malicious Communications Act. Do this tomorrow as they will be able to give good advice on how to go back to this person as well.

If you are GB based have a look at the Metropolitan Police website for advice. It tells you what you can do if you are being sextorted. I’m sorry is happening to your Brother, there are some scummy people out there.

Info Here.

Thank you all

He is in NYC

Suspected asd
Very vulnerable

Happened before but not to this extent

Are you asking who to report it to other than the police?

Sorry, it's not clear.

This is a well known scam.
Tell him not to worry.
The people sending the threats don't have any photos of him.

He sent them via telegram

You mean apart from the ones he sent them?

Sorry yes how could I report online to the police ?
Or to telegram maybe?

He rang me very distressed

Google the email address of the police in his area?

It says in the OP that he has sent photos. OP describes them as "rude".

I am assuming this happened in America, in which case he should take advice there - from The Police

Yes rude so private parts most likely

Ok thanks all

How old is he? And if he's very vulnerable, does he have someone caring for him over there?

He lives with aunt and uncle

He keeps falling for scams

He just sent me the name of the nearest police station

But how old is he?

Sorry 38

In the UK this is a criminal offence. I've had some experience vicariously. It's often useful to go and find out who such a black mailer works for and then let them know screen shots will be sent to their employer. But certainly, report to the police.

He does need to go to the police, Op.

This happened to a colleague of mine (also vulnerable). The photos were posted online unfortunately.

Noooooo ah gosh ok

He doesn't want anyone else to know

So asked me to step in

You say it's happened before but not to this extent.

What happened and what was the upshot?

It was a catfish who strung him along for months

Then one day called and said j need money but he rang me to see what up do

This was two years ago
