Officials say that after a predator gets sexually explicit content from the child, they are asking for money to be sent through mobile payment apps in amounts as small as $50, and as large as thousands of dollars. Officials are reminding parents to talk to their children about the dangers of communicating online with anyone they do not know in real life. "Think before you post, don't send them that picture or that video, even if you think you're sending something over a live-streaming video platform. There's technology where the offender can be recording that on their own without your knowledge, and then they can use that against you.
If you or someone you know has become a victim of this scheme, you're asked to contact the FBI's Chicago field office.DAILY NEWSLETTERthat I have read and agree
