There have been increased sextortion cases involving the sharing of sexually
explicit material on social media. Check your privacy settings frequently and
before using social media to interact with others. Be selective about what you
share and consider how someone else might exploit your messages, photographs and
videos. For assistance with reporting online extortion offenses, please get in
touch with CARE or UCIPD.

   ANTEATERS, PLEASE BE AWARE OF WEBCAM BLACKMAIL SCAMS:
   
   Oct 1
   
   How does webcam blackmail work?
   
    
   
   A person with an attractive profile on a dating website or social media site
   will initiate contact and/or a friend request. The scammer will use fake
   pictures and other social media accounts to look as real as possible. Once
   added, the scammer will retrieve personal information like contact
   information, lists of friends and family members, colleagues, classmates and
   photos through continued conversation and profile data. The conversation will
   then turn “naughty” and move towards communicating on the webcam. The scammer
   may be interacting live or they may use a pre-recorded video, which tricks
   the victim into believing this person is real. They engage in a more “adult”
   webcam game and throughout this, the scammer will be recording the victim’s
   actions. After video of the victim is recorded, the video will go black and
   the scammer reveals themselves and begins the blackmail. Once the scammer is
   in possession of a private video which involves nudity, masturbation, etc and
   has access to personal information, they will request the payment of money in
   exchange for not spreading the video to your contacts or online. Fear is the
   scammer’s best ally in these situations.
   
    
   
   Safety tip: Prior to accepting new friend requests, check your privacy
   settings to protect personal information and do not engage in sexy webcam
   video chats with strangers to prevent this from happening to you. If it has
   happened to you or someone you know, the following recommendations have been
   reported helpful by other victims of this type of scam:
   
    
   
   1) Cut off all contact with the scammers. Terrorizing you is the scammer’s
   best weapon to get you to pay the amount requested.
   
    
   
   2) Do not pay the amount request. This can encourage continued threats and
   harassment for more money.
   
    
   
   3) If possible, delete your accounts and change your phone number. If you
   cannot delete, do not respond to any messages.
   
    
   
   4) Make sure that your account is secure and adjust the privacy settings so
   that no one can see your friends. You can also contact your Facebook friends
   and let them know that a hacker will try to make contact with them and to not
   click on anything they send.
   
    
   
   5) Remember that you can always come to the CARE office and speak with an
   advocate for support.
   
    
   
   6) Contact the police department.
