Appears to be centered on the Eastern Seaboard somewhere. I think it is the same party or parties doing this. I suspect that they actually work in the telemarketing industry in some capacity or another.
The extortionists work from dating sites.
MO goes like this: Someone contacts you saying they are the “father” of and under aged girl you contacted. They say they will go to police unless you pay them money by untraceable means.
In some cases they spoof real police detectives and real police departments. Say there is an investigation ongoing and by the way, they’ll l stop the investigation if you pay them or the complainant party a certain amount of money. Again by untraceable means.
Anyone contacted by these extortionists should immediately block the number and make a police report of attempted extortion. This crime is a felony in most jurisdictions. As is outright extortion.

Go to police and make a complaint of attempted extortion. Print out a copy of this thread and give it to police. Do NOT talk to extortionist. Do not give them any money or agree to. Common scam.
