BUT...
"online sexual solicitation" is a more realistic threat.

Teens are more likely to receive requests to talk about sexual things online from other teens or from young adults (18-25) than they are from older adults.

Teens who develop an ongoing online connection with someone they don't know, or willing or talk about sexual things online, are more likely to find themselves in a risky online relationship.

Adults that solicit teens are usually up-front about their true age and intentions.
Focusing on the stereotype of Online Predators/Prey makes it harder to recognize other risky relationships.
Risky online relationships don't always involve total strangers; sometimes they involve people teens have initially met offline.

Change the subject.
If it feels risky, it probably is. If you're not sure, try changing the subject. If you still feel pressured, take further action.
