"After the victim informed the account she knew he was scamming her, he reportedly threatened to expose explicit pictures she'd sent him if she didn't forward him $10,000."
"Once she confronted him, the case took a much darker turn, authorities said, leading to criminal investigation for the extortion."
A woman in her 70s believed she was chatting with a TikTok impersonator of Morgan Wallen, who requested $500 for plane fuel. After wiring him the money, he fabricated an excuse to avoid meeting her. Realizing it was a scam, she confronted him, leading to threats of exposing explicit photos unless she sent an additional $10,000. The incident is now under criminal investigation for both the initial scam and subsequent extortion attempts.
