Violent Extortion Text Message Scam

Violent extortion scams are scams where fraudsters attempt to obtain money, property, or service from a victim through deception, intimidation, false claims, or scare tactics. Violent extortion text messages are text messages that victims may receive claiming that a victim has used a service that the victim has not paid for and if the victim does not pay the fraudster, the victim and their family may be targeted and harmed. Some of these messages may even include photos of weapons as an attempt to intimidate and scare victims. In the majority of cases, victims that have received these text messages have never used the service that the fraudster is claiming that the victim used.
