The scammer starts claiming that he doesn’t want the money. The person, who I am now sure is a dude, starts talking strange. This is where the game should begin if she is not a girl, because she can’t do a video chat with me if she is actually a dude! I send 200 rupees to the paytm she mentioned. She can also google my name and find out where I work from linkedin. I know very well that my trucaller shows my work email. Finds out some details and tell me where I work. I guess she looks up my number on trucaller. That will be totally unethical.Īs I don’t respond for a minute, she begins to intimidate me. But I do not want to share a random person’s picture.

It had a phone number on it, so I directly contacted it. I knew something is strange about the profile. I was checking out profiles on Hinge when I saw it. But today he did, and with some amazing material! I have started a cyber crime defence alliance, and the knowledge will be very useful. A few months back as we were discussing something and I reminded Saransh about his promise. What happens as a result is age old black mail.

Many a times young boys are asked to share nudes, or come online and do certain acts. Or maybe a marijuana case! There may even be policemen, real or fake, difficult to say, involved in such a racket at times. Then they will threaten to frame you into a fake rape case or molestation case. Then they will threaten to send it to your facebook contacts.Įlse they will meet you. What happens when you actually contact them? Here are a few variations I have seen:

They want you to fall in their trap, and they are making it easy. These women offer their phone numbers right on their profile. If you are regular on online dating websites, you must have come across some profiles of women that seem strange.
