The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF) has issued a public safety alert in relation to fraudulent online activity.
In a press release, the RSVGPF described the potential scam which it said involved a Facebook account using the name “Jasmine Bullock.”
“Reports indicate that this account is contacting individuals, sending deceptive images, and requesting explicit content in return. Those who share personal images are then subjected to blackmail and demands for large sums of money,” the RSVGPF said.
“If you have been approached by this account or experienced similar suspicious activity, please refrain from further communication and contact the police immediately,” police said.
“Your report can help protect others from falling victim to this scheme,” police added.
Police also shared some tips with the public to help keep safe. The tips include Never sharing personal or explicit images with strangers; Being cautious when interacting with unfamiliar profiles, and reporting suspicious accounts or activities to the police.
