Direct messaging communications such as Microsoft's Skype is the playground of the scammers, including women trying to enchant male users. Their aim is to make them snuggle in front of the Skype camera and then blackmail them with the disclosure of the incriminating video.
The well - being rehearsal is carried out by attractive women who invite users to Skype or Whatsapp whose profile has a male name and after a sweet chat persuade their victims to show them parts of their body, which we generally reveal in more intimate cases.
Then they ask for money either to stay connected with them or not to make the videos public.
It's blackmail is a reality, as offenders record the whole video-chat and make most victims succumb to their appetites, especially since they threaten to publish videos or images on public web sites like YouTube,
Worse, extortion will not stop with the first payment and the perpetrators will probably contact later with the victims asking for more cash.
The Online Threat Alerts states that the blackmailers demand the transfer of money through Western Union, so that it can not be identified who will eventually receive the "ransom".
It is advisable to be very careful when taking video calls from attractive people and not to engage in activities that may endanger you.
Generally, we would be dare to say (hoping that we will not disturb our reading audience) not to be carefree in front of the camera, talking to unfamiliar women.
Internet chat logging software is not visible to the person on the other end of the connection. Remember that we generally do not talk or trust the strangers in the virtual world just as we do not in the normal world.
Has he ever tried an unfamiliar and yet very attractive person to make you immerse in the real world? Then it's unlikely to happen to you in the virtual world and not to be a trap.
