Called claiming I was being charged with sexual crimes but that the family was willing to work with me. It all sounds legitimate but not quite real. Trying to check on to see if others have experienced this from this caller. Said his name was Officer Jack Johnson badge number 2426 and that I needed to call 8036027491 to talk to the father Mike Collins.
Yes it is an extortion scam being run on or by that site. There are numerous number threads here with the same story. Make a police report to your local PD. If the calls come from South Carolina, which seems to be popular with these extortionists, make a report there as well.
Underaged girl scam numbers. 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.
THis guy has called from more than 30 numbers. He's tried to extort money from thousands of young men. Sadly, some fall for it.
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.

Print out a copy of this thread. Go to police and make a complaint of attempted extortion. Do not talk to the extortionist or send them any money. There are no underaged girls involved. The extortionists are adults. Attempted extortion is a crime, you are the victim of a serious crime.
