  • Protect yourself from blackmail over Skype

    Recently we’ve seen reports of incidents of blackmail over Skype that we want to make you, our users, aware of.
    The recent reports describe how users are lured into providing revealing images or information about themselves over Skype. The perpetrators then threaten to publish these images unless the user pays them not to.
    This is a terrible situation to be put in and we’re acting on your reports to prevent the perpetrators from abusing Skype in this way in the future. Unfortunately, once they have your information we cannot control how they use it. Preventing them getting that information through vigilance is your most powerful defence.
    In this case you should be vigilant for individuals asking you to share images or information about yourself that you wouldn’t want to see published, especially if you have only ever met the recipient online.
    We take online safety very seriously at Skype and so should you. To help you do that, we provide a wealth of security information through help articles on Skype Help, a security page on Skype.com, this Security, Privacy, Trust and Safety board and security posts on the Skype blogs.
    If you have been a victim of blackmail on Skype, it’s important that you block the offending party, report them for abusing Skype and contact your local law enforcement agency. These steps are described with screenshots in our guide to reporting abuse on Skype.

  • Blackmailed through skype

    I got blackmailed last Saturday. I met her on an contact site. She asked to skype. Normally is say no to those request. But we had an conversation first on the site. So i did seem sort of legit. At least more legit then the rest. So on skype we chatted some more, before she asked me to video call. I agreed. When the call connected, she was already naked. And the typing didn't add up with her movements. I should have noticed it right away. To bad the boobs distracted me. She asked me to undress as well. I stupidly agreed again. So after a few minutes of playing I found myself staring at a video of me. That was just recorded seconds before. "She" demanded 500 US dollars or else she would upload the video to my fb friends. She had an list and all. I totally panicked. I agreed to everything she said. She wanted me to transfer the money via Western Union. When that failed she suggested paypal. Me being still in shock agreed again. I send her the money. Then she told me her account on paypal was blocked. I asked paypal for a refund for this bad money transfer(got that money back from paypal). Then she gave me another email adress. I transferred the money again. She demanded I stayed in touch. Then the call ended. After a few minutes while my head cleared I changed all my passwords. Blocked her on skype. Reported the email adresses to Google.(they were both gmail) gor an Google alert for my name. Deactivated my fb. The worst thing for me isn't the money.(PayPal asked for an survey for my transaction, I explaned everything to them as well, so i could get all my money back after all) but the fact I was getting back with my girlfriend again. We worked everything out and things were going fine again. But now this happens. Her name was in the fb name list as well. I hope that the video doesn't get uploaded. Especially cause I provoked them by trying to get my money back

  • Blackmail on Skype

    Hey people, 
    Thanks for reading this message. I now know not to make a mistake in skyping random people from today on. However, I have made the mistake of talking to this user called Britt Lu. She is a scam and has blackmailed me after recording me until I realized this person was using a recorded video. If anyone can help me out by sending me a link to report and request for aid please do! Must appreciated and please everybody should immediately stop using the internet as a way to satisy people's needs.  
    Thanks

    The same person did the same thing to me today, and I'm 15.

  • Skype video call Blackmail

    I know skype cant do much about it. but firstly I'd like to suggest everyone post up all information you can regarding the pursuer so that everyone else can go on skype look them up and block/report them. Their accounts are usually fairly obvious once you have become a victim.
    FIRST PROTECT YOURSELF!
    DO NOT SEND MONEY. DO NOT SUPPORT THEIR THREATS. THIS WILL PROMOTE THEM TO CONTINUE. 
    Delete/block all connections you have with the pursuer. Be it any/All social networks with linked names or information you have posted up publicly. Secondly if you cannot delete these accounts/deacctivate it, change you private settings. 
    CEASE ALL COMMUNICATION with them as soon as you have done this.
    They also recycle photos with different names.
    I have been scammed by Aliacate William, Aliacate19 = Skype user name
    extortion for hundreds of dollars.
    Aliacate19 (Aliacate William) on skype
    CA, United States & Los Angeles
    April-17 88
    Age 26 
    Female
    Related website: [Link to "badoo" website removed by Moderator.]
    PLEASE search for these scammers and block/report them from everything! It won't do much about what was recorded but you may save others from falling victim.
    Also follow what Skype recommends, EMAIL [e-mail removed for privacy and security] to reinforce the investigations.
    IF you do some how find your video has gone online you should proceed with contacting police about Cyber extortion. They are criminals and not to be taken lightly.
    "Hello,
    If you are being blackmailed you should first contact the Police. Skype will ONLY become involved if requested to do so by them.
    p.s. No duplicates please. Duplicate removed."  - http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/Blackmail-scammer/td-p/2853839
    Post up your criminal and help support eachother! This is a cruel world, but we'll find a way to fight back.

    I just had nora.cante76 or something similar trying to add me to skype with the message: "Hi it's me again. Add me!!!!" I blocked the account straightaway.
    Giving into their threats is the worse thing you can do. Now I will need to shut down my current skype account and start up a new one using a different name and email address otherwise this scumbag will continue to harass me.
    I found out via the scam survivors site that Nora Cante or the nomenclature to that affect is a Morrocan guy who goes under the aliases of Mario Dissoza or Marwan Dissoza. You can see his photo here :http://www.scamsurvivors.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=24583&p=72811
    I did a google and facebook search on him and wasn't able to find his account (probably been shut down) but I was able to find a trace link to a facebook like of photos of a football match or something called Zona Clandestine in El Jadida, Morroco which was one of the places he wanted money to be sent to. He is also associated with Khouribga, Morroco. Very likely this is where he lives.
    A google search of Marwan Dissoza brings up his account on Facebook basic though it isn't actually there when you click on it suggesting his account was deactivated. Most likely by Facebook.
    Other aliases are Anime Idris Kamel and Mouab Khabsi. Most likely one times uses.
    Marwan Dissoza does seem to be closer to his real name as I also found his details on some sort of dating site: http://www.meetme.com/member/77885488
    He also appears to have a google+ account.
    Judging by his name he's a spanish Morrocan. He appears to have good english and IT savvy though he's not that good as he wasn't able to entirely erase his digital footprint.
    Nonetheless this guy is scum of the lowest order and any of his nora cante aliases is to be avoided at all costs.
    My incident started on Chat roulette. I have since stopped using it. My advice to anyone using Chat roulette is to avoid it at all costs. If you feel comfortable using then do not give out your email under any circumstances. If the so-called girl or boy you're chatting says they can't find your skype name its a trap. Just move on. I was so close to clicking 'next' and boy do I wish I had! The fake cam seems so convincing. It never occurred to me that someone could record your skype video call and use that against you.
    I sincerely hope no one else falls victim to this disgusting filth. I think we need to push Skype hard to put out a message to all users on their site to steer clear of all accounts named nora cante.

  • Blackmail and Threatening via Skype

    There's a girl added me in Facebook on Monday (26/5) and then we started skype and she was naked. She ask me to take off my shirt ans go naked so i blindly followed what she says without thinking of the consequences. I am very regret now as the short skpe video call is being recorded and i am being blackmailed by her. She asks me to send her money through western union and i Sent her USD500. After that she still threaten to share the video to my fb friends and family. Initially i found the video on youtube after i made payment (broken promise by blackmailer) and i reported it. Today, she posted the video in youtube again and it is scary to know tht the video is not removed and exist.
    The person i sent money to lives in Bulacan, Philippenes. I hope her skype account will be banned. Apparently its a syndicate because there is a few skype user messaging me that claim they have my video in their hands. I can provide 2 Skype names that threaten me, i hope Skype community will take appropriate action against these accounts to prevent mor victims from falling prey again.
    First name: alexandrite72 (lure me to skype calling)
    Second skype user: ashley jhong
    The words they use in skype after having my nude video are scary, aggressive, possessive, and sickening. I hope theres something Skype community cn do to help us victims

  • Skype Blackmail

    Hi all,
    Today i got blackmailed by a 'girl' on skype. We got a little naughty in our conversation and both got naked. After a while she ended the convo and send me a video of the call. She told me she would post the video on youtube and send it to my Facebook friends. I could have her delete the video if i would pay the amount of 1000 euros. After that she send me a list of a lot of my Facebook friends and even friends of those friends. I freaked out and checked google for other situations that seemed to look like this one. Right now I keep reading I shouldn't be scared of her sending or posting the video if I stay out of contact from now on. I have blocked this person and send the contact information and a copy of the conversation to [email protected] [Moderator Note: E-mail address no longer in service.] I have changed my privacy settings on Facebook so she can't check my friends anymore and I have changed the profiles name and e-mail adress. Is there anything else I can do and should i still worry about the video?

    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34447/what-should-i-do-if-i-see-abusive-behavior-on-skype
    Sometimes the videos get uploaded, and most of the time they do not seem to be.  Remember, it's a scam!  Facebook and Youtube have take-down policies, and users can file to have those videos removed.
