Think Before You Send
There has been a rise in sextortion cases over Instagram recently.
The police are warning islanders after a recent sudden rise in sextortion cases over Instagram.
In essence, this is sending pics to people who then try to extort money from you under threat of posting them online or sending them to friends or family.
Officers said: ‘Our victims are falling foul to scammers after being charmed by dreamy photos and great banter. Unfortunately, after being tempted into sending a few cheeky snaps, they realise their flirty friend isn’t who they said they were.’
The advice is simple, if you’re going to send d*ck pics or other explicit images of yourself, make sure you know who you’re really sending them to.
