Resources and Downloads: Financially Motivated Sextortion

These resources are available for your download and use to spread awareness on the threat of financially motivated sextortion.

When predators pose as someone else online to coerce victims into taking and sending sexually explicit photos and videos—and then immediately demand payment or threaten to release the photo to the victim’s family and friends—it's known as financially motivated sextortion.

Financially motivated sextortion is a crime. Parents, educators, caregivers, and young persons should be aware of how to stay safe online, the risks and warning signs, and how to report if you or someone you know is a victim.
