Hello. I just wanted to say thank you for having this site. I am a new victim to all of this however I have found my scammer has been doing this for quite awhile based on what I now know after my research. I feel so naive... I know I am a very trusting person and now I feel very stupid....in addition, I want to cry. I fell for this guy....I wanted to believe all the nice wonderful things he said. I am a single mom, divorced for 10 years due to an affair on his part. I have raised two children alone and know I am looking for someone special to be a part of my life. It has taken me 10 years to open myself again to the possibility and this is what happens. I trusted and got burned... I believed this person. Thankfully I did not send money when requested because that sent alerts all over the place for me. However, I had felt pressured and finally sent a topless picture of my self to this person. He is now blackmailing me with this. Saying he is going to send it to facebook, cnn news, bcc news, youtube, etc. He emailed me a link showing he had posted the picture on his google plus account. Fortunately a girlfriend of mine helped me and we reported it to google plus and it has since been removed. I have changed all my Facebook privacy settings so any photos tagging me have to be approved by me. I am just sick. My family, friends, coworkers etc are my facebook friends. I don't know what to do. I have turned him in all over. Match.com, the multiple facebook sites he has up with same pictures, linked in...etc. I have also shared with my children my stupidity as a learning lesson for them. They are very supportive of me. I am so scared that the one stupid photo will come back to haunt me. I am so glad my spidey sense when off and I did not send any other photos....I don't know what else to do now except pray.....Feeling so betrayed and stupid.
