A 30-year-old from the district of Siedle sent 17 intimate photos for the promise of PLN 1360. She didn't get the money. Police warn: such photographs are easily used for blackmail.
A 30-year-old resident of the district of Siedle met a man online who promised her money in exchange for photos of the body. The woman sent 17 photographs. The promised amount of PLN 1360 was never received. She reported the case to the police. Officers remind that after sending such materials it is virtually impossible to control their further fate.
How did the fraud happen?
A woman made contact with a stranger online. The man offered her a specific sum – PLN 1360 – for photographs of her body. She trusted and sent 17 intimate photographs. That's when the contact broke. She didn't get the money.
It's a classic scheme. The cheat builds trust, offers easy earnings, and disappears as soon as he gets what he wants. In this case, the victim responded correctly – reported the case to law enforcement.
Police warn of consequences
Officers highlight the key problem: after sending intimate photos it is almost impossible to control their further dissemination. Materials can be blackmailed or used to create false accounts.
Similar stories happen regularly. Victims are being blackmailed by the publication of photographs, and criminals demand more money. Sometimes the materials land on pornographic sites or in groups on communicators.
How do Internet cheaters work?
The diagram is simple and repetitive:
- Make contact through a dating portal, social media or communicator.
- Building trust with compliments and apparent concern.
- "Easy Earning" – money for photos or films.
- After receiving the materials – the disappearance or transition to blackmail.
- Use photos to create fake profiles or sell further.
Sometimes a fraud asks for more intimate content and then starts threatening. Another time, he just takes what he gets and disappears.
The story of a 30-year-old from the district of Siedle shows how easy it is to fall into a trap. The promise of PLN 1360 for 17 photos ended with the loss of control over their own photographs. Internet cheaters prey on trust and the need for quick pay.
The best protection is caution. Don't send intimate photos to strangers. And if it has already happened, don't be afraid to report the case. The police are here to help.
