The Mysterious Stranger Who Claimed to Gift You a "Free" Website or Logo—What Are They Really After?
You can tell where this is going, right? As of today, the victim has spent thousands of dollars trying to simply get her own websites back. The crook keeps asking for more and more money, each time promising this is the “last time,” and giving bogus excuses why it’s going to cost more. And, it’s never going to end.
The scammer not only took her websites hostage, but is now also blackmailing her. Yep! Since she refuses to pay him anything else to get her websites back, now he’s threatening to sell her social security number and banking information on the dark web. Since he’s in Pakistan, there is literally NOTHING she can do about it (except to change bank accounts!). Even if she had the money, he’d never give her websites back to her anyway. She is literally out of business.
