Online Love Scams

I bought my usual "Her World" - love the magazine & it's articles & this month I found this extremely disturbing piece of story! Go get a copy & read it for yourself! It makes my heart boils !

A young lady innocently befriended a stupid ang mo online through Facebook. He turned out to be a scam artist. He took advantage of her feelings for him & tricked her into posing nude online  (for his eyes only) while he secretly recorded it & later used it to blackmail her.

She was so traumatised & at one point considered suicide. Lucky she's smart & reported the whole incident to the police. It's still under investiagtion but the damage has been done. I cant imagine what she has gone through..... feel very sorry for her. Very brave of her to let Her World interview & print her story. Hopefully this can prevent more victims.  I wish her all the best & hope she can get over this someday.
Go get this month's issue of Her World to read the story in depth, it's good!
