An attempt to expose the scam

Hello World,

I came upon a collection of wicked entities that try to make quick money by playing around and defaming innocent people. This fraud has recently become popular in India, but there is no effective defence against it.

This is time they found the wrong animal for their cage. Since I’m a security student and was aware of the scam. I attempted to expose it and filed a complaint at cyber cell Ahmedabad.

The Scam begins with a random fake profile with girl photos with IT.

> They text you, they will ask your WhatsApp number

> They will ensure that you are alone and then they strip on a video call after recording few footage, they tailor a new fake clip showing you doing the hanky-panky. Then they ask for money with the threat of sharing that clip with your Facebook friends.

Lucky I was aware of it because of the training and education I’m having. My Facebook friend list was blocked and my family was aware of such a demon. Thus I got full support from them. I did nothing and recorded a full scam here. I have seen similar cases where the victim ends up paying 10,000–30,000 INR for something they do out of curiosity or in some cases they had never done it. I come from a society where such victim gets treated like dirt or like they have done something wrong.

This is not a cyber drama situation or a stunt to acquire more likes or promotions; it is simply an attempt to promote positivity and raise awareness about security. Screen recording video is being shared. Please feel free to use it for educational or awareness purposes.

Please don’t spam, I’m up for a productive discussion and not for e debate.
