Glen Rock NJ, a Glen Rock resident from Ackerman Avenue reported receiving numerous text messages containing graphic images and videos from an unknown person who was threatening to harm their family if the victim didn’t pay them money. The scam was reported to Glen Rock Police December 19th at 2:56pm . The messages appeared to be consistent with known scams where individuals try to scare victims into paying them money.
The FBI issued a warning about these texting scams that can also be done through phone calls or emails. These scams are also known as “virtual kidnapping scams.” The best advice is to not give these scammers any information. People around the country have reported this scam to authorities as scammers try to use fear to get their targets to pay up. If you fall for the scam, the scammers will send payment instructions on how to pay either with a prepaid debit card, gift cards, or wire the money.

This shouldn’t take GRPD too long to solve but they are inundated with car crashes in their town it seems.
Unless the Glen Rock PD have the means to arrest the offenders in the likes of Nigeria or India, I don’t see this going anywhere.
