Police have warned men to be wary of online "sextortionists" who blackmail victims by threatening to post explicit footage of them on the internet.
Eight victims have contacted West Midlands police in recent months after being instructed to pay thousands of pounds into offshore bank accounts. Officers say the blackmailers lured men into online video sex chats and then sent screengrabs to them along with demands for cash.
One man faced a demand for $5,000 (£3,000) from offenders who threatened to email images to his girlfriend and his daughter.
The offenders usually target their victims on social media sites such as Facebook and through conversations on Skype or FaceTime.
DC Stefan Ashton, of West Midlands police, said: "Since January we've seen a rise in the number of these offences in the West Midlands, with victims in Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Dudley, Walsall and Coventry. In most of the cases the videos have not actually been distributed but it's nevertheless been an absolutely horrendous ordeal for the people involved, who are understandably very worried about the consequences of such images and videos being posted online.
"The damage in the cases where the footage was shared with the victims' Facebook friends cannot be underestimated – they are clearly devastated. The blackmailers are calculated and malicious and have complete disregard for the people they're exploiting."
He added: "Cases of this type are notoriously complex, and because IP addresses are usually traced back to foreign countries they often, despite our best efforts, go unsolved.

Had it coming to them to be honest. If you're dumb enough to make sex talks with strangers, then of course it's gonna come back to bite you in the ass at some point.
i wouldn't say it like that spetsnaz, i mean, it's pretty ratchet that you can't get your internet freak on without getting fucked over like this, but really, if you're married with kids you probably shouldn't be doing shit like this, and even if you aren't, you gotta think (and this goes for everyone really, because this crap happens to women and girls alot too) can i trust this person i'm exposing myself to? not just now, but if we fall out can i still trust them? (and random foreign cam girls definitely do not fall under this trustee list)
serves them right, this is hilarious

Getting your knob out on the internet is just grounds for being extorted to the tune of £3,000?
Kind of related, but weren't there a FP thread long ago that like specialized in acting like girls and selling "nude pics" to people for dosh?
How much cash did they make?
[QUOTE=Pelican;44822995]serves them right, this is hilarious[/QUOTE]
You've got to remember these people are very good at social engineering people. It's not just a case of people being dumb.
This is fucking brilliant, why hadn't I thought about this yet?!
The same thing has occurred in Denmark not too long ago. Women would chat with guys, convince them to show their jewels, then threaten them with making the recordings public if they didn't pay somewhere between what equals to about 800-1000$.

Except when it's girls that show off their body online and get fucked over for it, the people responsible for blackmailing them are completely demonized and the women who exposed themselves are viewed by most as innocent victims.
I mean, unless you're saying girls also "Had it coming" to be blackmailed, harassed, and extorted online for showing a stranger their tits.
man extortion is AWESOME when it happens to people who don't meet my moral standards
Can't you just [B]not[/B] expose your body parts online?
Is there a reason why you [B]SHOULD?[/B]

Yes, there was one, but they targeted pedophiles by saying they were like 13 and used pics of young looking 18-year-olds. I don't remember how much they made but I think one guy got over 1k from one guy, saying that his alter ego "wanted to buy a car so she could see him".

I am sure that if females were the victims this post would look different.

Fuck that, people should be able to do what want on the internet without getting extorted over it.

So when I post a pic of my junk online I'm having sex with potentially millions of people?
[QUOTE=Robman8908;44823100]This is fucking brilliant, why hadn't I thought about this yet?![/QUOTE]
Because it's illegal

You don't feel a thing but... its sooo good!

You are completely correct. I tried it once and made 50 bucks from an old man. I felt violated even though I'm not a girl and stopped. [I]The orange box didn't pay for itself. (It was paid with shame)[/I]
But yeah the OP of that thread made around 3-4k from what I remember. He was even offered 2k at once just for this one guy that offered to fly him to wherever the hell in bumfuck Egypt he was, he even fell for the "I need the money to buy the tickets myself" spiel
i bet if this was about women there would be a entirely different reaction
This is why I never put explicit photos of myself on the internet. If someone wants to see that they're just gonna have to do it in person

A male friend of mine used to do it to get phone credit from old creeps.

The moment you have to ask yourself "can I trust this person" you have discovered the answer is no. Proceed accordingly. By default you shouldn't trust anyone you only know over the internet.
If you jerk off on camera for someone over the internet you have voluntarily put yourself out there, no one to blame for what happens but you.
theres at least 1 picture of my butt on the internet but jokes on you i put it there myself

nope, I don't discriminate
I'd still be laughing

It's pretty "ratchet"? You're using that term to describe this particular activity? Jesus, I can't even begin to keep up with the ridiculous distortion of today's terminology when people say shit like that.
I thought ratchet was meant to describe people who fuck a lot of people - hence, ratchet, rapid sexual encounters in succession.
Sorry for being overly picky, but it's getting annoying as fuck.
-snip made me feel like a huge dick-
I did this a few years ago, made some surprisingly large sums of money.
Did it to pedophiles though, extorting just plain horny dudes is pretty lame
