Met a girl on okcupid who was 19, so the profile said, we talked for about a week and we did send some racy pics back and forth, well her dad calls me on a different number (hers was North Carolina AND her profile said Kentucky) then texts me and says he found nude pics on his 16 yo daughters phone. I freak out and call him back and he said that her mom caught her taking pics, and she was scared so she took her moms meds and was in the hospital. He sounded stern, but not angry. Said God*** a lot and kept calling me young man. Said he didn't want to press charges if I payed for her counseling and the dss charge. he said was 3400 dollars. I fell for it and tried to come up with money till a reverse lookup the number and found that his was based out of Charleston SC, Saw all of the scams coming from that area code and started to wonder... I played along and told him that I had the money and were to send it ( in all the text he kept calling me "young man" and "sir") Wanted me to go to walmart and send a moneygram and put it on a rushcard account. I asked for his name and he said I didn't need it. Got the account number and city he wanted me to send it to... NEW YORK, NY!!! WTF!! Please take 2 steps back. Told him this was a scam and that he was committing extortion. He said "Very well young man, I will see you in court" I have to give it to him, he had me going for a day.

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 both to your local PD.
Yes, I had almost the exact same experience as you did. Same number and same BS saying that his daughter was in the hospital and how I had to pay for meds and social services and whatnot. It's a scam and as soon as he started talking about money I knew what the deal was and ceased all communication.
