I used to scam pedophiles for money.

When I was a kid, there were late night commercials for an adult phone line called Quest Chat. Basically, it was like a dating app but on a phone call. I started prank calling the line just for fun. But, I noticed that a lot of men would try to keep talking to me even after they knew I was a kid. They would steer the conversation toward sex every time. Eventually, I started something of a small business. It worked like this: I would post a voice ad saying that I was \*very\* young and looking for older men. The men would send me messages or requests to chat live. I'd tell them to call me on my cell phone (fake number) instead so the call couldn't be recorded (this was to build trust and hopefully get their real phone number), then I would record the call myself and screenshot all of our text messages. I'd make sure that I stated my age (usually 9-15). They would ask for nude pics, send nudes of themselves, tell stories of times they'd abused girls, try to arrange in-person meetings, etc... With every text and call, I would gather evidence against them. Then, I'd ask for money. The statute of limitations on this expired years ago, but I technically never blackmailed them. It was an unspoken understanding of what the consequences of not ponying up the cash would be. They'd send me the money via Paypal or a Walmart Money Card, and then I would take the evidence and send it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. You may be wondering why I snitched anyway even after they paid me. Well, that's because they were pedophiles whether they paid me or not. Why did I ask for the money in the first place? Because I get to screw over pedophiles and buy snacks. What's the downside? With all this Epstein stuff, some people are surprised by how many pedophiles exist, but I'm not. It was EXTREMELY easy to find men for this. If you gave me 20 minutes to find 5 grown men who would be willing to have sex with a 12 year old girl, I'd tell you you gave me 10 more minutes than I needed. This is not an issue of the "elite" or the "wealthy". Quite frankly, the only thing stopping many men from being in the Epstein files is a lack of money - not a lack of desire. Ladies, many of you are married to pedophiles right now. A solid 75% of men I spoke to were married, and at least half of them had kids of their own. Some of you may be angry that I screwed those men over. May I just say, from the bottom of my heart, I don't give one single, solitary fuck. My only regret is that I didn't do it to more of them. Pedophile lives don't matter.
