Extortion: Eastland Road

An Eastland resident told police Sept. 21 that someone had tried to extort money from him on the Telegram social media and messaging app.

The man said that one day earlier, he was exchanging messages with someone on Telegram. The person asked him to send nude photos of himself.

The man sent photos that didn’t show his face.

The extorter was upset that none of the photos showed the man’s face. The man sent another nude photo that did show his face.

The next day, the extorter asked the man to send $150. When the man refused, the extorter threatened to post the nude photos online for his family to see.

The man blocked the extorter on Telegram. He said he didn’t believe the extorter would really post the photos.
