So hi, my friend said made a post (now deleted) asking for advice on my situation. Well, now I will vent about it. So this woman seemed nice and said she could read my future. I knew it was fake but it seemed fun and innocent, and it was free so I said sure.

She asked for a picture of my palm. Nothing bad, right?

And keep in mind I'm only a sophomore in high school, 15 years old. She then asked so she could do more "accurate readings" on stuff like who my future girlfriend would be, she had to get photos of my chest and hipbones and asked for more and more revealing skin each time.

Gross.

So I blocked her but I feel bad and I'm still kinda attached and regret blocking her because she said she would introduce me to a friend who was also a 15 yr old sophomore but then she wouldn't give away who it was right away and I didn't wanna keep this up.

Red flag, don’t feel bad. People lie on the internet all the time. Trust me, I’m Santa

You're a minor, and an adult is pressing you to give them nudes and semi nudes.

That's a pedophile, and she needs to be seen exactly the same way that a man her age shaking down a girl your age for nudes would be.

Yuck. That woman is super creepy, and from your description it sounds like she’s trying to groom and exploit you.

You did nothing wrong, she did. She’s exhibiting pretty classic manipulative behavior, and you were 100% right to block her.

No need to feel guilty, but the fact that you do just shows that you’re more human than that creepster.

It’s very common that scammers request pictures you’re uncomfortable with so that they can threaten to send them to everyone they can connect to you unless you give them money. They string you along trying to get you to become attached enough to give them the pictures, then they demand money or they’ll send them to everyone you know. This scam has ended in at least one teen taking his own life that I’ve heard of, and very probably more.

There is no friend who is a 15 yo sophomore, and the person you’ve been communicating with is very likely one or more people working in shifts and also could be men or women. This is their job, or they are being forced to do this, and they are very good at it. They are working on many people at a time so don’t feel bad blocking them. It’s all part of the job for them.

You can do this :)

Thank you!!! The "15 yo sophomore" messaged me but she just wanted to see my boobs...

[-] pixelmeow@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

Yep! If you were to send pics, another possibility is an angry mother or father who will threaten you with police unless you pay them. It’s horrible what they’re doing. <3

This person was definitely a creep, and it's a good thing you blocked them. If you know them in person, you might want to tell your parents about this.

I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
