The Skype sex scam - a fortune built on shame - BBC News

The Oued Zem scammers trawl Facebook for victims, and as soon as a man answers a video call - either on Skype or, increasingly, within Facebook itself - they activate software that shows the victim a pre-recorded video of a girl downloaded from a porn webcam site.

They are so familiar with this video that they are able to chat-message their victims at exactly the points where the girl appears to be typing on the keyboard.
"We ask him to take off his clothes and to do obscene gestures," says one young scammer I will call Omar.
"It's crucial that his genitals are visible while he's doing these gestures. This is filmed with his face on screen so the video looks credible. When we've got the recording we upload it to YouTube and send it to him in a private message. That's when the threatening starts. We spend 20 minutes chatting, 20 minutes for the video, and 20 minutes threatening - threatening and negotiating. They all pay."

It's very difficult to feel sorry for anyone this happens to. It's also difficult not to laugh.
This falls almost into the category of the emails about the rich Prince in Namibia who will send you a ca-gillion dollars if you just give him your bank account number.
 
How do they upload a guy wiggling his dick to YouTube? Isn't that kind of thing not allowed?

It's not - but in some cases those videos can stay there for a while until reported and removed by youtube.
Long enough perhaps for all your relatives to see it before it's taken down.

At least that's the fear these scammers are working with.
 
I have to agree....what IDIOT would do that, or behave that way?

With all these "working girls" roaming the streets, go get one if you are so horny you are willing to wiggle your junk over the internet.
(trying to make a large enough facepalm)
 
I've seen this video, fapped ri it.

Beautiful women can convince me to do pretty much anything but they need to be a lot closer than my computer screen.
