POF : Being scammed
I believe I’m being scammed. I recently met someone on pof and profile said they were 25. We talked and started texting. I used an app to do that (Didnt want to use my real phone number) After a couple of days she said that she was 18 then really 17. Couple weeks away from her 18th birthday. She sent me an explicit photo. Couple days later « parent » claims that they found her phone and now they need 1000 to pay for counseling. I deleted and blocked everything but remember that at the beginning I told them my name and where I worked. This past monday someone claiming to be FBI agent called wanted to talk to me or they would have agents on the ground. If the FBI was involved I would have already been arrested right? What do I need to do if they contact my work again? Just need some input. I just need to ease the nerves.

Lol it’s 100% a scam. You committed no crime so just ignore them.
Also don’t tell people anything personal online until you meet them.
most deffo a scam i wouldn’t be worried about it
100% someone’s running a scam. Quite a Labour intensive one with sending someone to you work but still a scam. If they turn up again, front it out, answer « Fuck you » to every question, put the heat on them. The real FBI would have no hesitation arresting you.
Someone did that to me as well. Just ignore them.

If I were in your scenario, I might actually want to talk to the FBI. (Not the fake FBI impersonator, the actual FBI).
The scammer seems to be extending themselves a bit far. You might be able to get them busted.
It is a scam and you need to report that to POF. It is someone trying to get you to fork over money
The real scammer here is you, the original poster. You don’t have any maturity, intellect, or credibility. I just don’t see you being 18+ years old. I’m guessing that you are really 14 years old. Other people might be stupid enough to buy into your story, but I think this is a case of a child with a wild imagination. Nothing wrong with posting on Reddit, but I think that it is against POF terms for an underage minor (you) to have a profile on there.
