How exactly do you scam someone by driving them into suicide?
It’s more of a secondary effect. Being told ‘Give me a load of money or I’ll show this extremely embarrassing picture of you to everyone you know’ can mentally fuck you up pretty bad as an adult, let alone as a teen with little to no source of income . It can be even worse depending on the type of image, how the victim expect his family to react or he’s already subject to bullying/in a horrible mental state.
Can’t read the article because it’s paywall, but I supposed it those “I hacked your webcam and have a video of you jerking off, give me money or I’ll send it to you friends and family”.
I got a couple of those. Unfortunatly for the scammers, I don’t have webcam.
It’s this
Around midnight, Dani got flirtatious. She told Jordan she liked “playing sexy games.” Then she sent him a naked photo and asked for one in return, a “sexy pic” with his face in it. Jordan walked down the hallway to the bathroom, pulled down his pants and took a selfie in the mirror. He hit send.
In an instant, the flirty teenage girl disappeared.
“I have screenshot all your followers and tags and can send this nudes to everyone and also send your nudes to your family and friends until it goes viral,” Dani wrote. “All you have to do is cooperate with me and I won’t expose you.”
