Scam #1: The Worst Nightmare You've Ever Had

Imagine having a video of you in a compromising or intimate position with a high-end female become viral. Worse, what if each of your family — your mother or father, adult children, cousins, or aunts and uncles – received the same video? What if the footage was shared with your spouse or significant other and showed you being unfaithful online?

BBC News reported on one such instance. A young Palestinian guy living overseas (we'll call him 'Abed') accepted a friend request from a stranger on Facebook. Not only was his new ad stunning, but he quickly discovered she was passionate and professed to enjoy sex. While he met his premium lady on Facebook, they can also be found on dating services like Hinge, Elite Singles, and OkCupid.
He accepts to talk with the premium lady using Skype's video chat while his fiancée is out of town, figuring it was an exciting NSA moment of fun. She was equally stunning and seductive on video, and she expressed her admiration for him. They indulge in masturbation while she directs him to reveal his face as well as his penis, with one compliment leading to another.

What occurred when it was finished? 'Abed' was blackmailed online for nearly 6,000 dollars in less than a half-hour (5,000 euros). A guy messaged, claiming to have the footage and that unless 'Abed' handed him the money, he would send it to all of the man's friends and family, as well as upload it on YouTube. And what about the lady with whom he communicated? Pre-recorded video from a pornographic website, most likely.
