FBI New Haven Issues Warning About Financial Sextortion

The FBI's New Haven Field Office is urging parents and children to protect themselves against sextortion threats. Financial sextortion starts with an online predator, often through unexpected contact coercing a minor to send sexually explicit images or videos. The predator then threatens to release the compromising material unless they receive money from the minor payment as demanded in gift cards, crypto currency, or payment apps.
