She tell him that he have to text her until he pays everything . help please my son is acare . is this a scam?

It is best just to completely ignore the messages. If you would pay the scammer will continually blackmail you for money.

Do not respond to any of their messages. Say nothing just ignore them.

I will try not to lecture. I am certain you and your son know that sending nude pictures if a foolish thing to do. Once the picture is sent, you lose total control of what happens to the picture. It could end up on a site that he wouldn't want it on.

It can be a problem because Law Enforcement will sometimes pose as an under aged girl to trap pedophiles. That would be much worse than a scam.

To answer your question, it is probably an extortion since they have already asked for money. If he pays money, there is no guarantee this person (who is not a girl) will not continue to demand money.

Do you have the email address the demand was sent from? Will you look up the headers and send them to me or any other Moderator so we can do some checking on it for you.

No , no email address ut was on the kik messerger app. He delete hes account already .
