Now that i've had a chance to calm down i'm reasonably certain that i just got scammed, reading through some of the other posts here, i've seen very similar stories and even seen where some people get called from 843 area codes as well. Well i'll be honest when i say i panicked and i sent him the money via western union. Now remember the key point, where my mind is not functioning so well. Eventually he says that he will call things even if i send him the money. He sounded angry enough, i was respectful and apologetic and he kept mentioning how this cost him and his wife about $850 for cancelling a phone contract and the cost of the phone. I'm kinda shitting bricks at the moment and the mind is not working so good(key point here), so i called the number and spoke with him. The message began innocently enough, with the scammer simply asking how his day was going. It started with a simple friend request, but quickly grew into something much larger. He gives me a number (it was the girls number) and tells me to call the father. Story: Man who fell victim to a Skype Dating Scam A man based out of Palestine was living abroad, when suddenly he fell victim to an online dating scam. Then he tells me that the father (he did give me a name) wants to speak to me to possibly work something out. He rattles off a list of potential charges for child porn, etc saying i could spend 25 years in prison for this. He says that he was contacted by a very angry father, saying that his daughter has pictures of me and graphic sexts between us.
#Got scammed skype sexting code#
I deleted the conversation because she was boring, and never saved the pics.įast forward to today, i get a call around 9:45pm from an 843 area code from a very angry sounding man saying he is a charleston, SC sheriff. I DO remember sending her a face pic or two that she claimed a day later to have never gotten. now heres where the details get shady, i DO NOT RECALL sending any lewd pictures of myself. She sends me a few pics (non-nude, fully clothed, obviously taken by someone else) i give compliments. No dirty explicit chats just the standard "hey how are you" crap, at this point she did mention that she was 17, i said no worries and continued the conversation, i was bored and thought "whatever shes 17, i wont sext with her i'll just chat" We exchanged numbers (used my real # like a moron) and continued the conversation, as a note she said she was from Richmond, VA (relevant and it was an 804 area code). Her profile said she was 18 so we started chatting. The other day I was playing around on a dating app (tinder-like knockoff) and was matched with a girl. Please keep the judgement to a minimum because i feel like a schmuck. Alright, first off I am aware i'm a total moron.
