Oh man, that's just beyond creepy and messed up! 😡 It's incredibly disturbing how scammers can use such personal and private moments to try and exploit people. It's a sad reminder of how important it is to be cautious and vigilant online. Personally, I've had an experience with harassment too, and it's a feeling I wouldn't wish on anyone. It's reassuring to know that there are resources like digitalinvestigation.com (https://digitalinvestigation.com/sextortion) that can help victims navigate through these situations. It's so important to raise awareness about these scams and support each other in staying safe online.
