SCAMBUSTER: PUBLIC RECORD AUDIT
Case Investigation: The Wrongful Prosecution of Kinney, Krystal Jo
ScamBuster has officially documented a case of digital extortion involving the target name Kinney, Krystal Jo. This report serves as a formal warning regarding the “Kinney, Krystal Jo DUI ALCOHOL OR DR*GS 2ND OFFENSE Broward County Mugshots Arrest Record” currently being circulated on social media platforms for the purpose of financial exploitation.
The Facebook page “Broward County Mugshots” published a post titled “Kinney, Krystal Jo – DUI ALCOHOL OR DR*GS” using unverified, preliminary data. After being notified of the inaccurate nature of the arrest, the page operators contacted the victim, demanding a “processing fee” for removal. Despite the victim paying the demanded amount, the site refused to take the post down and subsequently “blacklisted” her communication, effectively keeping the inaccurate information active to drive traffic to their fraudulent advertisers.
Why This Record is Fraudulent
Upon forensic review, the listing for Kinney, Krystal Jo in the Broward County area has been flagged as a “reputation ransom” attempt. These platforms deliberately scrape names and attach exaggerated meta-tags like “2ND OFFENSE” to increase the psychological pressure on the victim. In this specific instance, ScamBuster has verified that the page owners accepted a digital payment for the removal of the Kinney, Krystal Jo DUI record and then intentionally moved the post to a secondary server to avoid compliance while retaining the victim’s funds.
We are currently working with Lindsay Chase Law, PLLC to compile a list of all victims of the “Broward County Mugshots” billing scam. If you are an employer or agency searching for Kinney, Krystal Jo, be advised that the social media data is legally disputed and part of an active criminal fraud investigation into the host platform.
