Anyone can let their guard down and find themselves in unpleasant situations. Scammers can be very cunning and every day they invent new ways to extort money from people who are living their lives peacefully. This happens in every area of the digital world and beyond.
We often hear of attempts or actual scams targeting unsuspecting consumers who have purchased products on the wrong website or provided their personal details for services that turned out to be fake.
If, after contacting one or more advertisers, you receive threatening requests and attempts at extortion, avoid paying and do not let yourself be afraid.
Do not give out your personal details for any reason, do not give in to requests and take immediate action.
The first thing to do is to report the ad from which these scams originated, whenever possible.
On SimpleEscort, you can do this easily: Go to the ad, click on “Report this Ad”, fill in all the fields on the form, and send. We guarantee the privacy and anonymity of your report.
Our free support service is available 24/7 and responds to reports very quickly: on average, we respond to every email within 10 minutes of receiving it!
Immediately afterwards, depending on the degree of insistence or “perceived danger”, you should report the numbers from which you received the extortion attempts to the relevant authorities.
If, unfortunately, you decided to pay in a panic and now regret it, we advise you to contact the authorities to try to recover the money you lost and report the scam.
