“She calls me back and she informed me ‘I want you to bring me $200 over to such and such place,’ I was so blown away I just kinda didn’t know what to say. Then it kinda hit me and I informed her ‘I’m not gonna give you a dime’,” the victim said. “But what I will do I will call the authorities and let them know what you’re up to, ya know because I don’t know I started thinking, how many people have you done this to. I’m not gonna be a victim so I called the police and informed them what was going on.”

The advice the victim would give to others is to “be aware of people that you don’t know, be aware of the conversation.”

The woman insisted the man send her $100 to an unknown location or else she would send the photos to all of his friends and family on his Facebook profile, according to the report.

She told the man that if he did not respond quickly then the situation would get worse and there was nothing the police could do about it.

The woman threatened him further by saying she would share the photos to Google and many other social media platforms.

She is supposedly from France, but now lives in Houston, Texas, the man told investigators.
