The Evansville Police Department has joined the FBI to issue a joint warning that is going on globally.
The agencies have seen an explosion in financial sextortion among children.
This is the practice of extorting money from someone by threatening to reveal evidence of their sexual activity, such as, sending nude pictures of themselves online.
If you find yourself in this situation, block the predator and do not delete the profile or messages.
Ask for help from a trusted adult before sending money or more images.
Victims are encouraged to call 1-800-Call-FBI.
