Messaged some escorts on both vivastreet and adult work and a website called Friday. Received this text message on WhatsApp from a U.K. phone number saying something like this. (My first name) I have several reports of your waisting the time of those escort girls, these girls are owned by agencies who buy the underwear they wear, you just waisted their time and time is money they hired me to make up for that lost time, you are under obligation to pay £1,700 or face me and the entire organisation. We are tracing everything related to your (insert mobile phone provider) it's the best option to pay as to resolve this peacefully I warn you I have my men tracing everything related to your mobile sim number we are willing to draw up every last drop of blood. Seen a bunch of posts on here with people having a similar scam with cartel and pimp bosses ect but not like this especially with a U.K. number and using my mobile phone and first name as leverage considering I live in the U.K. and it is my first name. My first name is on my WhatsApp but if it's scripted would they really put the effort in using it in the message and actively searching up my mobile phone provider. I just want to know if this is a scam or not especially as they stated that they are hired by these so called "organisations". My mobile phone number is owned by my mother and my WhatsApp profile had my face in the pic which was the same for my social media such a: facebook ect so I fear they may find my address. Please tell me I ain't the only one getting messages on WhatsApp I can't sleep at night and i suffer from really bad anxiety and paranoia.
