A young woman was left horrified after a man she met on Instagram threatened to rape her.
Becca McFarlane burst into tears after receiving the worrying message from the creep.
The 27-year-old had chatted to the man on the platform several times when she agreed to meet him for a date, the Daily Record reports.
But when she was shocked and frightened when went on to tell her if she came near him wearing the outfit she had on in her Instagram pictures, he would rape her.
He wrote: "If you came anywhere near me with that outfit you wore with the skirt and stockings you'd be getting raped."
Becca, from Dumbarton, said: "It made me burst out crying and I was incredibly anxious for the rest of the day.
"I don't understand, even thinking it is disgusting, never mind typing it out and pressing send.
"We had chatted a few times and he seemed nice at first.
"He asked if I would be up for getting a drink with him sometime, I said yes and he followed with those messages.
"I can only count myself as 'lucky' that he said that before I actually met him.
Shaken Becca blocked the creep on social media and reported the messages to the police.
She says the incident has left her extremely anxious to meet men online in the future.
She added: "I'm definitely more scared to meet men online. This has given me a fright.
'I don't deserve to be threatened with sexual violence for the way I dress.
"I think it's absolutely abhorrent men think they can speak to a woman like that.
Becca says she is lucky the man showed his true colours before she went to meet him in person.
She is urging other women to come forward and report similar incidents.
She added: "In today's society, men think they can say whatever they want behind a phone screen. I doubt he would have said it to my face.
"With the recent spikings in Scottish venues, I would encourage women to come forward and report these things. It's definitely worth it."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Officers are investigating a report of threatening communications via social media which was reported to police in Dumbarton on Monday, November 1."
