Exgirlfriend Sends Potential Extortion Message After 30 Years
Location: California
I recently received a Facebook DM from my college girlfriend of 30 years ago. It does look to be authentic as it includes some memories of my family, dates, and it also alligns with what I knew to be true in the past by Googling her (ie, she was married, where she lives). She even offered to Facetime me to prove it's her.
She is asking for money, $40k to be specific as she and her child are struggling, and suggests Zelle or Western Union. I know, obvious red flag.
What is surprising is she is implying I sexually assaulted her, and she wishes she had gone to the police when the alleged event took place. I will mention were were sexually active for 3 years, including for several months afterwards. She claims she wanted to confront me 10 years ago but didn't after seeing I have a family and didn't want to hurt them.
Her message does not include any threat of extortion, but I am taking it seriously and I have not responded and as of now, do not plan to respond.
My question: what should I do next?
Update: Based on the responses that it's a scam:
1) She has had this profile for years. Years ago I searched her name. It's a private profile, and I won't be friending her for obvious reasons, but it's not a new fly by night profile.
2) If she's scamming me, she's obviously failing. I'm not sending her a penny. My bigger concern is if she gets desperate and reports it to the police.
