  • With all due respect, I’m in my 20s and know not to get my knackers out for strangers on the internet - her age isn’t an excuse.

    I don’t understand why people get their threepenny bits out on the internet and wonder why it doesn’t end well - but that’s a conversation for another day :D

    Apparently, one of my cousin's friends on her friends list has also been scammed by this same person.

    According to her, he builds up a portfolio of all the girls he's scammed and shows them off to the next girl he contacts hoping to dupe them into believing he's a nice guy and doing the same.

    His form of profiting is getting off on these pictures to substitute for the fact he doesn't have a life.

    I guarantee you nice guys don't ask girls for 'pervy pictures' in return for jewellery.

    She has been very silly. I won't say naive as she wasn't, she wanted jewellery and still wants the jewellery. She doesn't seem hugely bothered about having the pics out there.
    She should feel lucky the pictures aren't worse if they are simply 'sexy' and not nude.

    I hope the lesson she's learned isn't simply to get the jewellery upfront?
