I continue receiving texts from this individual stating she has seen photos of me and wants to hook up. I have no idea who this individual is. She stated something about a VIPStreamNow.com. I have no clue what that is.
Do not respond to unwanted texts or emails from questionable sources. Several mobile service providers will allow you to report unwanted spam texts by simply forwarding them to 7726 (or “spam”) to enable the providers to prevent future unwanted texts from the specific sender.
TIP:
Put 7726 in your contact list, so you can easily forward those unwanted texts!

However, in many cases, the text origin, as seen on your phone, is faked. The internet domain does not exist, or the phone number may have been spoofed.
I got this same text this morning from an unknown number. Same request to view vipstreamnow . com
"She" also included a picture of "herself" to try to persuade me. Also contacted a friend of mine as well with a similar message.
I'm relieved to see someone else dealing with this.
Do not go to that site - it appears to be to be trying to be like Chatroulette
I consider it an identity phishing site.
I went to that site and got redirected to this :
http:// nowstreamingcam.s3. amazonaws.com /index.html?TID=10268729aeecb74da901a76df6918f
This means
The programmer of the site doesn't really know what he is doing and is exposing his account at Amazon
or
is hijacking someone else's account on Amazon servers.

The owner hides behind a proxy service that is based in Panama.
Do not trust any website that wants your information - including your pictures - that does not show who owns it.
