Memo to any potential blackmailer…

…don’t send incriminating pictures from your mobile phone as its easier to track you down!

But one guy didn't think about that when he tried to extort $500 from a branch of Pizza Hut. 

Police say Jess Jay Long was a former employee of the restaurant in Nevada, USA.

He allegedly called the restaurant manager on Friday and told him he had five Pizza Hut signs that are used on the roofs of vehicles and wouldn't return them unless he was paid $500.

Police say the manager wanted proof that Long had the signs…

...so Long sent him a picture from his mobile phone that proved to be his undoing!

Officers were able to zoom in on registration numbers of tow cars in the background of the picture that proved to be registered to Long.

He has now been charged with extortion, possession of stolen property and grand theft and has had his bail set at $15,000.

Personally we think it should be higher because he is a complete idiot!!
