'For a couple of weeks, I was chatting to what I thought was a local woman on a dating app.'
An Irish blogger has fallen victim to an online scam whereby a fraudster posed as a female singleton on a dating site and illicited intimated images from him.
"For a couple of weeks, I was chatting to what I thought was a local woman on a dating app. We were chatting and that was fine and then after a couple of weeks she suggested that we move to Snapchat, which isn't unusual - it wouldn't be my first port of call, but it's not unusual." The man revealed to Daragh that he was a scammer, based in Nigeria and threatened to send his intimate images to all of Daragh's friends and family.
"So I talked to my parents, talked to my brother, talked to a few friends - just told them what was going on, how I was feeling."
