something i found : •{ Blue Whale Challenge }•
Keep in mind that these type of messages can appear to you in ANY platform. Most common ones are Facebook and Instagram.
The thing starts when an unknown user sends you a message asking if you want to play a game. If you reply saying yes, he'll ask again if you are sure about it. Since once you are in, there's no escape from that.
Once you agree, that person will give you challenges each day. There are 50 challenges in total, in which you need to complete in those next 50 days.
The challenges will start as something little.
The first challenge will be drawing a whale in paper and then sending a picture to the person as proof that you did it.
The tasks continued as “Waking in the middle of the night.” , “Watching a scary film at 3 a.m” , “Face-Timing a member of the challenge” etc.
But as the days continued, the challenges became more sinister. Such as “Cutting your arm in the shape of a Whale” , “Standing on the ledge of a tower block”. And of course, each challenge you do, you need to send proof that you did it.
The last challenge is a demand of the user to jump from the highest floor of a building. That way, you kill yourself.
Even if you survive, you need to do the 50 challenges OVER and OVER until you die.
•{ Why did teens killed themselves?}•
Even though the point of the challenge is to commit suicide, something suicidal people would do.. There were some people that didn't want to do it, and made a mistake into getting in the challenge.
As I said, once you are in, there's no escape. The user will start threating you, that if you don't do the challenge, they will hurt your whole family members. Telling you that they have your personal information, such as : Whole name, adress, family member's name, etc.
New info, DON'T BLOCK THEM! If you do, they'll easily track your information and IP adress. Just ignore them.
Also, the person who created this is now in jail for 35 years (I think)
