Wow. He’s a sleaze, true-but that was the lamest scam ever. Why would anyone send anyone else pics of themselves “scantily clad” if you’re not dating or flirting? Even if these girls didn’t suspect anything with the first request to “save a scholarship”, the second one that asked for a picture with less clothing should have rung loud alarm bells.
Bottom line-the internet is forever, people. Don’t take anything for granted.

Every social network makes you to expose some more details about yourself than you want to.
