I joined a dating app a month ago and a couple weeks later I matched with someone. Her profile said she was 20 and she messaged me and we talked very casually for about a week and a half over text, nothing crazy or sexual. Thing is, in-between that, without asking she sent me pictures of “her” In a bikini, like 15 of them. I was like tf? Okay I guess. Never sent anything back, she said hey a couple more times, convos never went any further than literally what’s up what you doing, working. Today I get a text from her “dad” from her number, saying how she is a minor and he’s gonna press charges, I start freaking out like wtf is going on. Then, an “investigator” calls me. I’m freaking out even more like dude I’ve literally done nothing she sent me unsolicited bikini pics, nothing nude or like that. The “investigator” told me I could be facing criminal charges and jail time if the family turns the phone in, I can’t believe that this is even happening, he says he’ll call them and see if they wanna settle personally. I call my lawyer (yes, I actually have a personal lawyer from my past) he tells me it’s a scam and to cease contact with them. After more digging and calling the investigator back to get more of his information, he wouldn’t tell me where he worked and the dad called me and it sounded SOO suspicious on the phone. From reading others stories it sounds like they were gearing up to extort money out of me. I’m glad I searched it up first and called my lawyer. Thanks to reddit and this community. I appreciate yall.
