Top Online Extortion Schemes According to Big Scammers
Money Scams
1. Online
Dating Fraud - These Internet scams are targeted at users of popular dating
sites and apps. Also known as online romance scams, the criminal syndicates
that operate these extortion schemes try to lure married men and women in the
USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, some Asian countries and other EU territories
to their cyber traps. According to the most updated content in the Big Scammers Money Scams section, these online dating scams make up a significant part of
the more than 800 monthly Internet scam incidents that were reported by American
users during the first half of this year.
These criminal syndicates
perpetuate online dating fraud by posing as legitimate users of the most
popular dating sites and apps in their target countries. They create profiles
that can captivate and entice unsuspecting users to respond to their messages
and invitations in these online dating platforms. According to the latest Big
Scammers Money Scams content pages, these fraudsters then build rapport with
their intended victims and try to entice them into engaging in intimate
conversations with them.
They trick their victims
into agreeing to use popular social networks and widely used instant messaging
tools with VoIP features for their intimate conversations. This is so these
scammers can log, take screenshots, record and manipulate their conversations
in these social networks and instant messaging apps. As mentioned in some of
the newest Big Scammers Money Scams content pages, these fraudsters then
threaten to publish these logs and recordings all over the Internet unless
their victims comply to their demands for money.
These scammers even threaten
to directly send these logs and recordings to the spouses, children, employers,
friends and colleagues of their victims. Some users who recently posted complaints
in Big Scammers claim that these fraudsters didn't keep their end of the
bargain after they sent money to these scammers. Also mentioned in the most
updated Big Scammers Money Scams content pages is that these fraudsters went
ahead and still published these logs and recordings on the Internet even after
their victims complied with their demands.
2.
Ransomware & Fake Tech Support Scams - These schemes are designed to
compromise the devices of users in the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK, some
Asian countries like Japan and other EU territories like Germany and France.
Malicious code is injected into advertising materials that are distributed all
over the Internet, sometimes through legitimate Web advertising platforms,
according to the latest content pages in the Big Scammers Money Scams section.
Once users with unprotected
devices and vulnerable Web browsers access these compromised advertising
materials, malicious code is then covertly injected into their systems. Their
devices and Web browsers suddenly freeze, and pop-up messages are prominently
displayed in their screens, usually taking up the entire space in their
monitors as mentioned in the Big Scammers Money Scam content pages about these
fake tech support scams and ransomware schemes.
These messages are laced
with scare rhetoric and fake urgency claims. These are designed to trick users
into calling a toll free number where they'll be charged a hefty fee to fix
their devices. According to a few of the most recent Big Scammers Money Scams
pages, some criminal syndicates deceive users with these messages by forcing
them to download a rogue system security tool that they need to pay for in
order for these issues to go away.
These are just a few of the
many variants and iterations of these online extortion scams. You can learn
