Hello I'm very worried and would like some advice. After research, this seems like a typical dating app scam, but no money has been asked as of yet.
I matched with a profile on Tinder and the person claimed to be over 18. They then asked for my cell phone number pretty quickly and started to text me a couple messages like "what's up, what are you doing etc."
They then asked for a picture of me and sent two pictures of themselves - fully clothed. I responded with a picture of me fully clothed. There wasn't much more to the conversation than that.
Today I get a call from a VoIP number (I looked it up). It was someone claiming they were an investigator, investigating child solicitation crimes. He said things like, "you're going to be likely charged with solicitation of a child once I talk to the family, if they decide to press criminal charges." He said he's going to talk to the family and then get back to me so a warrant for an arrest can be made and we can talk about this in person. I sent no explicit messages and received no explicit messages. He asked for no payment but said he'd be in contact soon.
I looked up the investigator's phone and the number from the person initially texting me. Both were Onvoy LLC VoIP numbers. This sounds like a scam, but wouldn't they ask for payment? Or is that coming in the next call? I'm very worried about charges being pressed even though no solicitation or explicit photos were exchanged. And the person texting me never said they were under 18.
Please help me and let me know if this is a scam or not. I just need a peace of mind.
