Anyone can be a victim to scammers.

We currently have been made aware that someone is claiming to be with our company and attempting to extort hush money.

We have determined the follow facts.

• They are falsely using our company name to create a sense of authority
• All victims have recently been on, or have an UPWARD dating App or have an account.
• All victims so far have been contacted with the Name J. Palmer and all contact my text of phone call.
• One of the numbers is a REAL cell phone and the other we have found is a VOIP ( fake number)

If you have received a call or text message from  someone identifying himself as J. Palmer or with our company.

PLEASE DO NOT engage.  DO NOT send money.

This is an extortion scam.

As a company we do not participate in extorsion or blackmail of people on behalf of our clients (or anyone).

Please report it to your local police agency.

This is a slight variation of an old scam.

• Where they create fake dating / social media account and send unsolicited naked photos of a person.  Sometimes they will claim its underage ( but they wont risk sending child porn, so often it a young looking person)  then they will contact you my email or text message.
• Please contact us to “discuss a serious situation”.
• They will claim you are now in possession of naked photos of someone and you need to pay them to not report you or not send details to your family members.
• They may falsely claim to be with our company, a lawyer office, or even the police.
• They request payment with Green Dot, prepaid credit cards, gift cards, or even Cash App or Venmo
