Not heard of this scam before: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-30544685 My webpage played other videos after the Philippines one....
Easy money for the scammers there in the Philippines, probably true to say that its not just in the Philippines where this sort of extortion goes on. Its this kind of thing that lead the young lad to throw himself off a bridge a while back here in the UK. If people go online looking for sex then its better if they stick to the regular porn sites and just watch videos and not to go in for the cam sex and the like
The scammer pretty much seduces the victim into performing a sex act on themselves and records them. They then blackmail the victim as they have access to that persons Facebook page and threaten to send the video to all of their friends and family.
So basically, keep it inside your pants unless you are into that sort of thing and don't mind lots of hits on and Facebook
I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone would get their trouser snake out for a computer camera
There must be some mental impairment somewhere along the line, for someone to expose himself to all and sundry while performing a "solo" sex act . If one doesn't know or realize about where the boundaries of right and wrong are, by ages 11/15, then in my opinion there must be a flaw somewhere, which can only be remedied by seeking, either professional help or family support. The first step would be admitting to oneself that there is a problem............ Like alkies or druggies do... On occasions... Saying this, doesn't mean that I don't care about the young life wasted and the sorrow and despair felt by the family involved. As a father myself, I do care very deeply.
Kids especially should be taught about this kind of sextortion early on at secondary school, and not just the boys, happens to girls too.
But if people wish to do it then so what? Why does it exceed any boundaries of what is right and wrong? You seriously think people need professional help just because they enjoy a little bit of a five knuckle shuffle now and again?
