New scam in town: SEXTORTION!!!!!

To understand the scam let us understand a scenario. (All the names are hypothetical)

Raja receives a Facebook friend request from a good looking unknown girl named Liana and out of curiosity he accepts the friend request. They start conversing through Facebook messenger and girl introduce herself as interior designer from Nagpur. After few days they share phone numbers and starts to chat through WhatsApp and video call. While in video call the girl starts to undress herself revealing her private parts and asks Raja to undress too and they start cyber-sex session.
Afterwards, the girl told him she had saved videos and pictures of their brief cyber-sex session and is going to upload in social media. The girl demanded Rs. 3 lakhs not to do so and he paid the amount through bank transfer. Later, the same day Mr. Dutt calming as cyber police called him and mentioned that the obscene/nude pornographic kind of video resembling Raja is uploaded in internet and demands Rs. 5 lakhs to remove it from social media.

Raja paid a total of Rs. 8 lakhs to the scammers what we call a Sextortion.

How to avoid sextortion:
• Set all of your social media accounts to private;
• Never send compromising images of yourself to anyone—no matter how close you are to them;
• Do not open attachments from people you do not know;
• Turn off your electronic devices and web cameras when not in use;
• On social media or dating platforms, be wary of unknown users who try to move the conversation to another platform very quickly;
• Be wary of new online connections who send you unsolicited sexual images that they claim are pictures of themselves. Sextortionists often use this tactic to guide the conversation in a sexual direction and lower their victim’s guard.

Do visit nearest police station if you have been victim of sextortion.
