MP sex sting scam going on for a year

The targets, who were all male, were sent flirty WhatsApp texts from either "Abi" or "Charlie", depending on their sexuality - with some later being sent explicit photos.

At least two MPs are thought to have responded with X-rated snaps of themselves, leaving them open to blackmail and manipulation.

The number for "Abi" is no longer active but was first reported as a catfish someone online pretending to be someone else - almost a year ago on reverse look-up website Who-Called.

More than 100 searches of the number have been made on the site since May last year. Five users left warnings about it with the most recent just two weeks ago.
