Not always true. We first start by looking for links to individuals with access to data. Friends that work for telstra optus etc that can lookup details registered on sim. You can get burner sim caed but you still nddd to register details with id. So if that is whdre the data is coming from it wont help. Share the ad and we can start defending aussie valuez and putting out trashQuote:

them - code is xyz
I go up - have the encounter, run after seeing a completely different old white lady, was expecting a hot Brazilian.
Definitely overseas scammers. The way they write is international, and its a giant copy and paste of multiple websites. Its just a scammer trying their luck. Persevere through it, ans they will give up
I assist a shop owner by running their E&B page for them.Quote:

3. I'd report it to the police at your local station. LE doesn't care what you've done (it wasn't illegal), but this is. YOU are the victim; they are there to help you. Being able to say (to mobile carrier and friends) that you've reported it to LE adds to your credibility. Maybe they can't do much if it's overseas, but it does add to their database.
4. Contact Facebook that you suspect your account has been hacked.
5. Excuse my ignorance but "iMessages"? You might try reporting to Apple customer support.
6. As for videos? AI generated using your face from your hacked account.
You're not the first, you won't be the last. So join the fight. You might have to get a new phone number. If that's the worst thing that happens to you in this life, consider yourself lucky. You will survive. JUST NEVER PAY; THAT PUTS YOU ON ANY NUMBER OF LISTS FOR THIS TYPE.
Name used, phone and/or email, State and suburb, physical description and then the reason why they're lodging the report. The report will generally fit into one or more of the four categories.Quote:

This makes me fucking pissed mate. Sorry to hear. As others have said the best thing to do sounds like to get on the front foot with it. Your priority should be your relationships & personal safety.
Firstly. I think itÂ’s highly unlikely some thug is going to rock up at your house and bash you. Assuming your story is true, they just want cash out of you. Harming you physically does nothing and would be an extreme retaliation after walking from a bait & switch.
Secondly. Law enforcement unlikely to do much sadly. ItÂ’ll end up with some Nigerian who knows how to use the internet and not worth AFP investigating.
IMO - Get on damage control. Post on Facebook saying youÂ’ve got someone trying to scam you & to ignore requests. Email family or send direct texts to those who may be more gullible. Tell your partner & family you randomly started being harassed. Report to police, Facebook, your bank, all of the above. Any evidence they provide of texts, CCTV, videos - whatever - can all be plausibly photoshopped or AI generated. If your Mrs finds their texts or hears about this some other way, sheÂ’ll know youÂ’ve been hiding it and the jig is up.
IÂ’d install some security cameras at your house just in case. A few hundred bucks off Amazon is worth it for peace of mind. Long term consider changing your phone number and/or moving house, if youÂ’re renting.
And never use your actual name or phone number for punting.

Thomas Wong, I have a question for you. As you have exposed your name and face for EVERYONE to see, have you been recognised in waiting rooms at shops?Quote:

It’s scary when you’re getting extorted, didn’t you make a big deal about someone getting pissed off at you that you reported them to the police.Quote:

I’m hoping if these scammers try scam others using the same names, this forum will help calm them down, like it helped calm me.
