SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — The Sioux County Sheriff’s Office is warning local residents of a scam going around on the social media app Snapchat.
In the latest reported incidents, scammers request to follow others using a fake account and make attempts to have the user send them illicit photos.
Once the scammer receives these photos, they demand that the user send them funds electronically, or they will make the photos public.
Authorities are reminding all Snapchat users to only let people you know add you, and are urging parents to check up on their kids, reminding them of the dangers of sending illicit photos online.
