Several El Paso County residents have recently been targeted by an Internet predator. 

The social media user poses as ‘Alex Levin’ a teenage boy who randomly friend requests girls between the ages of 12-15. He begins a conversation and asks for a photo of what the girl looks like. As soon as he obtains the photo he threatens to Photoshop the face of the victim onto pornographic images on numerous websites unless they continue to send him nude images and photographs. If they fail to send the photos and videos when he requests them, he threatens to notify someone on their friends list, which is usually a parent or sibling with the same last name.

The fictitious photographs he is using as a profile picture are attached.  The suspect is believed to be based in a foreign country and may be utilizing other forms of social media to perpetrate a similar scam.

We would like parents and potential victims to be aware of predators at all times when you are Online.
