At Orbitso, your safety and trust are our absolute top priorities. Today, we are issuing an urgent warning regarding a serious romance and sextortion scam targeting our community. Bad actors are actively impersonating Orbitso’s founder, Corrie, to trick women into dangerous situations. Please read this carefully to protect yourself and your friends.

How the Scam Works

Scammers are stealing images of our founder, Corrie, to create fake profiles across various social media platforms and messaging apps. They use these photos to strike up conversations, build quick romantic trust, and eventually manipulate women into sending explicit photos or videos (nudes).

Once the scammer receives these images, they immediately turn to sextortion—threatening to leak the private photos to the victim’s family, friends, or employers unless a ransom is paid. It is a devastating trap, and we want to stop it in its tracks.

CRITICAL SAFETY RULE: Corrie will NEVER message girls asking for private images, explicit videos, or asking you to "show off." If an account claiming to be Corrie asks for anything remote like this, it is 100% a scammer. Block them immediately.

How to Keep Yourself Safe

Online scammers are highly manipulative, but you can protect yourself by following these core safety rules:

  • Never Send Explicit Images: No matter how close you think you've gotten to someone online, never send explicit photos or videos. Once an image leaves your device, you lose control of it.
  • Verify the Username: Scammers often use lookalike names (e.g., adding an extra letter or underscore). Always double-check the exact handle against our official list below.
  • Beware of Quick "Love": Be highly suspicious of anyone who declares strong romantic feelings incredibly fast or pushes to move the conversation to a private, unmoderated app.
  • Report and Block: If an account matching this description reaches out to you, report the profile directly to the platform for impersonation and block them instantly.

What to Do If You've Been Targeted

If you or someone you know has already fallen victim to this scam, please know that you are not alone, and you should not feel ashamed. Scammers are professional criminals who excel at manipulation. Take these steps right away:

  1. Stop communicating: Do not pay the scammer. Paying rarely stops them; they usually just ask for more money.
  2. Document everything: Take screenshots of the fake profile, the conversation, and any payment demands (but do not keep or share the explicit images themselves).
  3. Report to authorities: Report the cybercrime to your local authorities or national fraud reporting centers (such as the FBI's IC3 in the US or Action Fraud in the UK).

Stay vigilant, stay safe, and let's keep our community secure together.
