Threats

A U. of I. student reported that she received text messages from an unknown person who claimed that they had been hired to harm her. The unknown person sent the student a picture that the student previously had posted on social media, presumably in an attempt to legitimize the threat. The unknown person also sent a video of other people being harmed and said the student would need to pay $4,000 to call off the threat. The student did not pay and blocked the number.
