\t\t<\/p>\n Jenna Dewan<\/strong><\/a> is speaking out in partnership with Instagram to help fans spot sextortion scams before it is too late.<\/p>\n The Step Up<\/em> actress filmed a video message that she posted to her Instagram page to spread the word about scams that are targeting young people on social media.<\/p>\n \u201cRecently, there has been an increase in financial sextortion. These scammers often use fake accounts to mask their identity, pretending to be a teen themselves and to trick people into sending them explicit photos. Once they succeed in convincing that young person to share an intimate image, or perhaps fabricating an image using AI or other methods, they will quickly start demanding money and threatening to expose the image publicly if they\u2019re not paid,\u201d Jenna revealed. <\/p>\n Jenna <\/strong>is making sure parents are aware of what is going on to ensure that they can protect their kids from scams. Instagram has provided resources<\/a> to help anyone who needs assistance!<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
