Recently, some people in Hai Duong became victims of blackmail after revealing sensitive photos with acquaintances on social networks.
Recently, Mr. NVT in Sao Do Ward (Chi Linh) joined a dating group on social networks. When he found a suitable friend, Mr. T. often texted and chatted. After a short time, Mr. T. and this friend often texted and called with sensitive images, showing off their bodies. However, Mr. T.'s friend later saved these images and used them to force Mr. T. to transfer money. Mr. T. did not agree, so the subject threatened to post Mr. T.'s sensitive images on social networks or send them to relatives and friends. Too scared, Mr. T. transferred 20 million VND to the subject's account.
In a similar manner, Ms. VTT in Tu Minh ward (Hai Duong city) was also taken advantage of by bad guys to take sensitive photos and then threatened to blackmail her.
Because they feel ashamed of their actions, victims are often afraid to report the incident to the police. In some cases, after reporting the incident to the police, they withdraw the complaint.
