I met this guy and had been keeping in touch with text regarding a business matter. He said he had to go because his girlfriend was sick and he sent me this pic. Upon close inspection it shows a woman bound and gagged and a plastic sheet under her.

So I called the FBI Human Trafficking Division, waited close to half an hour to file my report. When I filed the report, they did not even want to see the image [I guess having low level report takers must get expensive when you have to murder them for seeing shit they are not supposed to see?].

A few days later someone called me back and said their analysts had reviewed my information and that they would like me to file a local report with my police department. [Even though I had explained to them the guy was not local to me and I did not know what city he was in]

I followed their instructions and waited over an hour and a half to file a report with my local police. Within hours they determined it was "a poor attempt at a joke" and that the guy had sent me a photo he got from the Internet. I didn't ask for or receive any details of that claim or how they verified it "over the phone".

I still have an unsettled feeling about this, so I did a reverse image search on Google and I have so far been unable to locate the photo on the internet. Google is doing something weird, however, and showing me a ton of results with a thumbnail of the image I uploaded, mostly videos. But when I look through the videos I am not seeing this girl or this situation.

You guys have gotten very good at this sort of thing, so maybe you could review? I would be "happy" if this could be confirmed that the image was already on the Internet and the girl is OK or at least this has already been investigated.

I don't find the humor in the "joke" - but hey, i'm not a fucking Sociopath.
