I laughed. Good advice, esp. in the tips list, from the Bangor Main Police Department facebook page:
This post is not for everyone. Some things should remain private.
The officers of the Bangor Police Department really should not be the folks to tell you to avoid doing very private things in front of a webcam.
We have been dealing with numerous complainants (men) who received a "friend request" from what appears to be a very attractive female.
If it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is. In these cases, it definitely is.
Once the individuals are friended, the new and lovely lady requests that you do things in front of the camera for "her."
TC's advice, or takeaway; "Don't do this!" You have been warned.
As soon as you take part in this grand adventure, the "lovely lady" sends you a message that you will now need to send her between $300 and $600.00 American dollars. There are various ways that these "ladies" gather up the cash.
Being the genius that you are, you tell her, "no" and that you are not going to pay "her." Shortly thereafter the revenge takes place when the "lovely lady" turned "scorned vixen" uploads your new found fame to many, many of your Facebook friends. You know, the real ones.
The time to say no to these requests is when an unknown and attractive woman tries to friend you on "the Facebook."
If this happens, follow these simple tips.
1. Go to the closest mirror.
2. Look at yourself.
3. Give yourself an honest review and realize that there is no reason in the world that an attractive lady from the Philippines wants to be your friend.
4. Return to the computer and delete the friend request.
5. Continue looking at lawnmowers, motorcycles and jacked up trucks that are for sale in your region of the country.
6. Realize that you just saved yourself from showing the world what no one really needs to see, and a whole lot of cash.
This is a scam and you will look stupid being shown around the office doing something that you really cannot take back. Once it is out there, we can do nothing for you.
Keep your hands to yourself, leave other people's things alone, and be kind to one another.
We will be here.
We do not have a repair kit for stupid mistakes.
