Police say some of the investigations are ongoing, while others have concluded without charges because suspects can’t be located or identified.

They say the videos were never sent to the victims’ contacts as threatened.

“If you make a video or take a photo and that device has the ability to connect to the internet, the content can potentially be seen by anyone,” said Staff Sgt. Royce MacRae of the Nova Scotia RCMP’s tech crime unit.

“One way to protect yourself from this type of scam is to avoid accepting friend requests from strangers.”
