  The University Police have recently been made aware of a few incidents of scams referred to “sexual extortion.” These scams generally occur on social media or messaging apps. They involve an unknown offender who contacts a victim, lies about their identity, and engages in conversation of a sexual nature. After requesting intimate photos or video of the victim, the offender then threatens to send those images to the victim’s social media contacts unless the victim pays money.
