In this Scam News, Nick discusses one of the most potentially serious scams out there at the moment, sextortion, which has tragically resulted in the suicides of at least three young men in the last 18 months.
We also delve into the hardest part of a romance scam - not the red flags, but how to get someone out of one once they are in deep.
