Just been blackmailed over skype

Hi I've just been blackmailed by the user goergia.rossana.1 who is currently blackmailing me. We met on chatroulette and proceeded to exchange facebooks, being my naive self I accepted. Proceeded to go on skype and webchat for a bit where she "seduced" me. I had no idea any of it was being recorded. "She" then takes said illicit video and starts to threaten me by saying I will send this video to your friends if I don't get money. He gave me his name (Ahmed Nour) and phone number (212 6 02 14 03 07). He has been threatening me all day.

Why do I feel like I've just been screwed over?

I have a N8 device which I've been very happy with ever since I purchased it direct from the Nokia website, up until now I have defended this phone against all the critics of it simply because it has been a joy to use.
The first time was pretty easy to get sorted out as Nokia service collected via UPS and replaced it within 3 days. Unfortunately recently for the second time my supplied headset has gone faulty and Nokia again and I phoned Nokia service who then collected it. I have just got it back but this time it's un-repaired with a cover letter saying it is out of it's 6 month limited warranty. Why on earth did they bother to collect it in the first place if this was the case!! Is this not what company procedures are for? The patronising female on the phone did not help to ease my anger either.
Needless to say I am now at a loss that Nokia have only a 6 month warranty on headsets (probably down to the high failure rate is my guess).
When my contract comes up for renewal this is now something I wll look into in greater detail

What does the customer laws say in UK about the warranty?
Here in Finland, warranty is optional bonus provided by the seller. But there's some restrictions, e.g. like Nokia is limiting warranty for 6 months from purchase date, it is "illegal". Because the optional warranty offered by manufacturer or seller has to be better than in consumer law regarding faulty products or warranties.
But yeah, usually companies cooperate pretty well here and don't bully customers.
Just for tip: Check your local law about consumer rights and if that doesn't help, make reclamation and check the EU directives about warranty per certain device category.

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

JPPI-
Did you try it with the iTunes your Mac already has?
Try running Software Update in your System Preferences. That should bring your computer up to the latest software available for 10.4. You would end up with an older version of iTunes, but that may be good enough to activate your iPad.

Someone is blackmailing me over skype, can someone...

I was chatting with someone on Skype, now that person is blackmailing me saying that my video will be uploaded online either on Facebook, all my family to see or in youtube. He said he wants some money and I cant give any money as I have already gave much out so please help. I do not wish to make it a big case by reporting it to the local police as of yet.

Hey,
I did something stupid on skype and got video taped by a person name "mel". The played back the first portion of the video to me. I immediately closed my computer, deleted and blocked them, i never gave them my real name or facebook or anything in regards to social media or who i am. I changed all my passwords just in case on all my websites. Can they still track me or do anything because I never game them my "true" name and information or any of my social media stuff? Please respond asap!

I have been blackmailed too!
Her name was Vangie but who knows what was her real name!
She recorded the whole thing and she said if i`m not going to pay £300 she`s going to send the video to my friends on Facebook!she knew everything about me i don`t know how!
She knew my name my friends on the Facebook everything but i did not know her!i did not give her any details about me but she knew everything about me!
Maybe my Facebook account has been hacked i don`t know i did not really used my Facebook very often!
So i had to pay the money in Philippines so they are Philippines people!
I got all the conversation on skype so i can proove it!
Can you track this person or persons down?

Just been scammed

hi guys. i have just been scammed. the same story, i was recorded on skype. i was so frightened that i even paid a small amount of money. i couldn't think properly right then. after that, i calmed a little and i found all this helpfull posts. i changed my privacy settings, blocked the scammers id, but he told that i must still pay him some money tomorrow. i said ok and i blocked him. i don;t know what is going to happen next or what i should do. hope he/she won't share the filming. do you have any advice? thanks

first, I think you should immediately stop communicating with that user, and end all connections with them. Delete and block them in your social media accounts and other avenues that have been used to communicate with them. Also if you give him more money, they will most likely ask you for more over and over again.
Then you can report them to [email protected], so Skype can check and investigate their account and possibly suspicious activities. I think they can do actions against their accounts such as suspending them or making them ineligible to use Skype services.
However, I think Skype is only limited doing actions against their Skype accounts. So if you feel still necessary, you can also consider reporting this matter to your local police. Then your local police can contact Skype (most likely they already know how) to request for information or assistance that may possibly help them in their investigations.

I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died. Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music. It is all grey at the top of the screen. Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id. So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised. if anyone can be of assistance then great!

I'm having a similar problem. I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order. Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy. When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too. No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop. I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't. I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help. I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

My iphone 3gs is not working properly, when switched on it says 'Update Completed' as though it has just been updated. On the next screen it says to 'Connect to iTunes'. It doesn't, however, connect to iTunes and more often than not just resets itself.

My iPhone 3gs is not working properly and hasn't been since about September of last year. When switched on (Quite often it won't even turn on) it says 'Update Completed' as though it has just been updated. On the next screen it says to 'Connect to iTunes'. It doesn't, however, connect to iTunes and just resets itself over and over until power is gone. Occasionally after switching on and off a few times it functions normally for a few hours and some times even a couple of days but eventually always turns itself off and goes back to the 'Update Completed' screen. Does anyone know what might be causing this and/or a way of fixing it?

I can't send Pages documents over Skype

I try to send a Pages document over Skype, but it says words to the effect "Only regular data files can be sent". I tried to zip it using the contextual menu create archive command, all I got was a beep. My wife swears that she can't even send them as attachments. Could someone enlighten us here, what are we doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

I try to send a Pages document over Skype, but it
says words to the effect "Only regular data files can
be sent".
Pages documents are actually a folder of files. So they can't just be attached to an email and sent. The solution is to first compress the document and send it as a zip/archive file. Thankfully, Mail in 10.4 does this automatically but other mail programs don't.
I tried to zip it using the contextual menu
create archive command, all I got was a beep.
Do you mean you couldn't create an archive in Mac OS X? Or that Skype beeped when trying to transfer the file?
If you mean Skype couldn't transfer the file then this would be a Skype problem. .zip files are a PC and Mac standard, so there's not reason they couldn't be emailed or shared via Skype.

I have recently been knocked over whilst carrying my mac book pro, the screen is now damaged and it wont charge at all... would apple replace it ?

i have recently been knocked over whilst carrying my mac book pro, the screen is now damaged and it wont charge at all... would apple replace it ?
i have tried buying a new charger incase this was the problem, it wasnt, it just wont icharge/turn on at all, im just wondering would apple replace it, as am a student and need a computer and this is my only one?

Sorry no Apple will not replace it. What happened was an accident and the Apple warranty does not cover accidental damages.
So it looks like you will need to buy a new computer or pay to have your Mac fixed.

I downloaded a ringtone a few days ago and itunes charged me twice and i didnt receive the ringtone ether, plus i wrote to itunes and it says you will get back to me in 24 hours and its been well over that!!!!

I downloaded a ringtone a few days ago and iTunes charged me twice which I am not happy about, not only that I didn't receive the ringtone.
This is probably not the right place to complain but I have tried contacting iTunes support and they said they will be in contact with myself in 24 hours and well its been well over that !!!!
You guys really need a phone customer services for iTunes, I know quite a few people that this has happened too and waiting for days for a response is not good.

You are not addressing Apple here at all.
This is a user forum. We are all itunes users just like you.

Just been shouted at by Sayed!

Hello,
Hope this post is in the right place.
I have two issues:
Issue 1: I have just been having an online chat with a chap named Sayed regarding the crazy billing system BT employ, part way through the chat I explained that I will be going elsewhere once my contract was up, the phone rang and it was Sayed on the other side. Sayed wasn't calling to say he loved me, instead he went on to berate me for my lack of understanding of the BT billing system in a shouting aggressive manner, I responded by saying he needed to calm down before we carry on with the conversation and that he needed to show more respect, his answer to this was to hang up on me. Not really what I expect from BT.
Issue 2: Since the start of my contract my bills have been all over the place in terms of payment. I did originally sign up to pay £35 per month which I thought would come out monthly as a regular payment. I thought I had solved the issue 3 months ago when a customer rep agreed I should be paying £35 and assured me this would be the case from now on without explaining I would quickly find myself in debt with the BT and now have to pay £75 per month, great! Subsequently I have had the billing system explained to me however I still feel aggrieved at having to pay more than I expected when I signed up 18 months ago, especially when they oscillate from £35 - £75, in a sense I feel utterly conned by BT from the outset and considering the other options on the market I will be seeking an alternative supplier.
