I can’t tell you how many times I got emails saying they had pictures of me pleasuring myself. Five thousand dollars then 500 then 100. The problem is that no such pictures exist. I have a good relationship with my wife. There are many ways that having a happy marriage will benefit you. In the immortal words of Stan Lee, “‘nuff said.”

I’ve seen a couple of attempts.

One dating scammer took a picture of my face and put it on top of someone else’s privates in a frame around both pictures. He said unless I paid him for his time in trying to scam me, he’d distribute the pictures to my family. But since I use a separate phone number for dating sites and I never give out my real address, or last name, I just blocked the number and never heard from it again.

Another common scam that has originated out of the east coast is that they send you a naked picture of a young girl, possibly in her 20’s. But then you get a phone call from a guy claiming to be an investigator or law enforcement. And he says the picture is of an underage girl and the father found my phone number and is really upset. The idea is to get a financial settlement with the father to keep him from reporting you for receiving her picture.

It’s a stupid scam though. If it were true, and If the father reports it, he is reporting his own daughter for producing underage phonography as well as possessing it and distributing it across state lines.

I keep an empty wallet in my back pocket because I’m poor.😥

I got an email last year from someone claiming they had gotten my identity from a porn site, hacked my email, and would email all of my secrets to my family and everyone on my email list if I didn’t pay them some ridiculous amount in bitcoins. I forwarded it to my wife and asked her if I had any secrets. She assured me that if I have any secrets then they are too boring to worry about.

DON’T EVER EVER EVER TAKE SELFIES OR ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED, OR VIDEOED NAKED

I have never understood nude selfies. Maybe it is a generational thing. If I texted my wife a nude selfie she would call my doctor to schedule an exam for Alzheimer's.
