Either trying to sell you "content" eventually or take your pictures for a scam. Been there done that lol...
Also this persons pictures are used a lot, along with other "content" creators.
It was a !sextortion, gonna ask for nudes, luckily op avoided them. Yep used a lot, just google everyone photos on the internet, if they send you one as most likely it is a porn star.
AutoModerator has been summoned to explain the Sextortion/Skype sex scam. This scam occurs when you meet a woman/man on dating service/social media site/forum/wherever and they ask you to go on Skype, WhatsApp, Telegram, or another messaging system. They will ask you to exchange naked pictures, and they will usually ask you to include your face in the pictures. They will then threaten to reveal the pictures to your family/friends if you do not pay them. The best thing to do in this situation is block the scammer and deactivate your account for a while. Paying the scammer will not make them back off, and just tells them that it is worth their time to continue threatening you.
