A man from the Krems district in Lower Austria fell into a nasty trap. The young man was contacted on Facebook by an unknown woman. After several written approaches, the alleged new love started a video chat and then blackmailed him with the intimate video.
After the online flame of the 22-year-old presented herself extremely freely in the video chat, she demanded the same from her interlocutor – and did not have to be asked twice. But it was only shortly after the end of the chat that he received an extremely unpleasant message. Your content: The intimate video will be published if he does not quickly transfer a four-figure amount to a Swiss account.
Victim reported
The risk that friends and family could see him like this was probably too great for the blackmailed man and he transferred the money demanded. However, when he was asked to pay a similar amount in the form of bitcoins a little later, the victim thought that was too much: he went to the police and filed a report. There is now an investigation into ‘sextortion’, or sexual blackmail on the internet.
