"Halifax Regional Police have recently received a number of reports in relation to a new extortion scam circulating in the Halifax area.

 

Scammers call or text victims, accuse them of attempting to use an escort service and demand payment. The scammers then claim to be members of a “cartel” and send graphic photos depicting violence. They threaten to harm the victim or their loved ones if they do not respond and/or deliver the money."

 

 

Stay safe friends and remember to always be doing your research. Safety measures for yourself and us are always important so we can all be safe and have fun.
