We expose a network of overseas scammers targeting and blackmailing teens, and in some cases, driving them to suicide within hours of falling into a trap known as ‘sextortion’. We create fake social media profiles to investigate the business behind the blackmail.

I remember it used to be girls getting this shit. Did we manage to protect them and leave the boys behind? Awful awful awful people out there.

A disturbing story about exploiting teen vulnerability. Sadly the “experts” offer no practical tips for teens to combat the scammers’ techniques.
