You are in good hands with Ralph, so I will only reiterate for everyone also reading this thread:

I have no doubt that all of the people you are dealing with in this mess are scammers, very possibly the same scammer using different identities.

Even if you weren't dealing with Nigerian scammers (and you are), you should always assume that WEBCAM IS NOT SAFE. Essentially, you should NEVER DO OR SAY ANYTHING ON WEBCAM--WITH ANYONE--EVEN IF YOU KNOW AND TRUST THEM--THAT YOU CANNOT RISK BEING MADE PUBLIC. The same applies to photos. NEVER SEND PHOTOS THAT YOU DON"T WANT THE WORLD TO SEE.

There have been many cases when friends, family members, ex-boyfriends, girlfriends, or spouses have shared photos, videos, or recorded webcam with the world! Some have not intended to do so (i.e. they shared with someone who passed it on without permission, or stored it somewhere unsafe), while others have done so deliberately out of anger, jealousy, or for revenge. In the end, the result is the same. If you don't believe this, just google "webcam blackmail" and see how many results you get (don't click on the results pages, many of them are unsafe).

Sorry Motive, Dotti is the other moderator who posted just above my previous post, if you like it feel free, I am sure she will not mind ;)

It is not so much hacking a webcam, I dont want to explain too much because there is no use in teaching any visiting scammers.

What I can say is that it is possible to get some footage and play it as if it was yourself on your webcam.

Asking them to do something specific such as showing a certain number of fingers or showing todays local newspaper will weed out these however some scammers will appear on webcam so it is still no foolproof way to know that it is not a scammer on the other end of the camera

hi...to all..I'm using a new e-mail right now and it's a good one and I've change everything. :D (motive77)

From my e-mail to my number.....

but last night i had a strange dream.... :yikes: it was like i saw someone was captured and he say that he was guilty in making a false statement on me and there were cops everywhere..with them carting electrical items...

he confess to me that all he wants to me was my money. :bondage:

he looked down as he said it to me... then i wake up...

weird dream. :laugh-s: but i wish it was true..... :oh-joy:

Strange, I had a dream about this myself last night.

The scammer for some reason rang me on your phone to threaten you, in my dream I told him what I thought of him and he left you alone, I do hope I wasn't actually saying what I said in my dream :oops:

While I think of it, I noticed he does know of another email adress of yours, if he does contact you there please be sure to completely ignore anything he sends you.

Glad to hear it, if he tries to ring you please dont answer or hang up if you find it is him, it is very important that you make absolutely no contact with him.

hello jillan n raply......

I'm over here well and very active on the net, but mostly is playing with game called Runscape.com, it's a fun game online.

so far now, I see that I'm ok in handling guys on line and dating, so far, I've had no calls or letters or any video messages that was suppose to be sent by my ex scammer, and i'm very happy about it. But when guys tells me that their tel number is starting with 447xxxxxxxxxxxx, :shock: i was causes on it .....but now i have someone in life to be with in my country...... :lol:

these days... all around the world are active with one website that is called face book, in which in my country about 95% has my people in using it, including me....

thanks for your help on helping in my previous problems...... :D

Rainbow,

I'm glad that things have improved for you. It sounds like you have been able to learn from your experience and move on with your life, and your scammer has probably realized that he is not going to get anything else from you so he has moved on himself. You are also giving hope to others who are dealing with similar situations--at least it can help them to believe that it will get better!

Feel free to stop by if you have any questions, and happy holidays!!
