Using Webcams. They've Gone Digital!

Ok, here's a new one for ya! At least, for me it is:

From Facebook to Yahoo Messenger.
Those are the steps used to get to this point. After establishing a bond between the two, video chat(the webcam) is introduced to prove that she IS the one in the pictures!

Promises were made and thoughts of a relationship ensued. The 2nd day she is posting things she wants in her mate. She starts posting comments which she says are hers but when I confront her she says they are hers. I do a search of those words and low and behold on SCAMWARNERS.COM, these words are duplicated. Realizing she had been revealed, she has since logged off YM. Probably in hopes of finding someone else less intelligent or more gullible.

So, if they're using webcams to verify their pictures they send so you can see it is really them and not just a porn star's picture, be weary still! Don't give in to their "emergency dilemma" and/or their need for money! It's just another step in the WORLD OF SCAMMERS!

Please post the scammers details so we can crucify it. It is still active, just you are blocked. We know about webcam fakes. Please post what you have in messages etc, It is bst not to tell scammers you know what they are doing. Vanishing is the best method and utterly confusing. Another reason is that you may also enable them to see what the mistake was and improve the scam, since we like scammers to be stupid!

I'm glad you caught on before you wasted a lot of time.

The more advanced scammers started using fake webcam a few years ago. (Somewhere over on eater I posted an actual lad-to-lad email selling software for "ferk" webcam a couple of years ago.)

It took a while to catch on, but it has become really widespread in the past year or so. With so many porn models with websites, offering various video options, including paid live sessions that can be recorded, there is a huge amount of material available to construct fake webcam.

In the end, it comes down to the same thing. Don't send money--ever--to anyone you have not met face-to-face, in person, and even if you have met them in person you should still think long and hard before sending anything.

Even if they haven't asked for money, there should be serious questions about anyone who falls in love after a few chats, or who is willing to send pornographic photos or perform on webcam for someone they just met. If "she" were real, you should be questioning her mental stability.

And there are no sweet, sexy, highly attractive young caucasian women stranded in Africa (or Malaysia.) If "she" were American or British (as they often claim) and really was stranded, the American or British embassy would help "her" out.
