Advice for men: If a strange woman asks you for a dick pic via social media, resist the temptation to send her one

By adamg on Thu, 07/29/2021 - 8:30pm

The Swellesley Report alerts us that police in Wellesley are investigating a string of incidents in which men sent nude selfies to women they'd started chatting with on Instagram and SnapChat who claimed they had a deep interest in such things - only to then use the photos to blackmail the men by threatening to send copies to family and friends. One guy sent some money, but it wasn't enough, so the woman made good on her threat.

But if you are a contact of a person and you receive a dick pic, how do they identify who said dick belongs to?

Confirmed when they freak out and pay the ransom.

It’s usually not just a dick pic

It’s almost always a man doing things to himself and the other person would record it and play back the video for them and then threaten to send it to family/job/etc.

For the 500th (expletive) time, guys

If women wanted to see photos of a (expletive), Playgirl would outsell Playboy.

So There's No Market For Playgirl?

Then how was it circulating on shelves for years?

Stores put stuff on their shelves for years that never sell?

Women in droves buy magazines full of pictures they have no interest in enough to keep a business afloat?

A company pays an entire staff to publish a magazine for years that isn't solvent enough to pay salaries?

There's so much interest in Playgirl that you threw it out as a household reference that you expected everyone to know because it's a widely known thing. Because enough people bought it to be on your radar.

sometimes they are just trawling

I have received several emails at work claiming to have video of me, and demanding bitcoin. My work computer doesn't have a camera, and any secret webcam of me would be very boring. I knew it was fake but I wonder if some people don't.

That's a different scam, more

That's a different scam, more on the level of the Nigerian Prince scam where they just spam every email they have and hope to find a couple of suckers.

In this case, the police report specifically said that the victim voluntarily sent nudes to the scammers.

Yea those are phishing scams…
