Police were contacted after a woman demanded cash from a local man and threatened to forward intimate photos to family and friends.
NORFOLK COUNTY - Norfolk County OPP are investigating an extortion case, involving intimate photos and videos shared over the internet.
Police say a local man recently met a woman online and started chatting. Intimate photos were exchanged during this interaction. The women then demanded money from the man, saying she forward the pictures to family and friends if he didn't pony up the dough. No funds were sent and police were called immediately.
Police are warning all computer users to beware. Video chatting allows you to see and hear whom you're talking to. All you need is a webcam and a computer with an Internet connection. You log into your social network and enable the video chatting. You can't be anonymous with video chatting.
The fact that your face is right there for all to see, but it's not just your face that's on show. Anything else can be, too. That means that some behavior -- and some body parts -- that you don't want to exhibit could end up on display.
The screen only lets you see what the other person wants you to see. Another danger is that anyone can take a live video. This means that they can permanently have a video of you.
