Latest dangerous scam, be very aware

Featured Replies

This is to inform guys of the latest and dangerous scam being committed by "working girls" against the male population. This scam is currently happening in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Yes I know the other side of the planet compared to Thailand, however if it's happening there, I'd be gobsmacked if it wasn't happening in Asia, Thailand especially. 

 

So what is it, these working girls have now graduated from drugging and robbing people to "hacking". This is done with great ease using easily downloadable 'apps'. Also they target your Facebook and WhatsApp by sending you short video clips of themselves wearing sexy lingerie or something, however, once you open them, your hacked and they have all your passwords. 

 

They happily befriend their victims grooming them over many months to gain trust, and make you easier to hack. Never let them hold your smartphone or tablet, not even for a second, and always take it with you even when your back in your hotel room and go to the toilet or shower. It only takes them a few seconds to download spyware apps into your device and then your screwed. Be careful guys, as this is the latest scam, and could cause you untold problems.

Do you have a credible source for this news?

 

Not Thailand related is one. ????

As my colleague has mentioned, we need a credible source for this "information" if its merely Chinese whispers of he said she said from a barstool somewhere this will be CLOSED as scarmogering with NO foundation in fact.

No offence bro but this "new" scam has been going on for at least 10 years. I doubt Thai girls would have the werewithall. Too much work. Chinese girls yes. Simple keylogger installed on your phone or PC

Thai ladies would never do such a thing ????

It's not Chinese whispers, it's happening in Brazil and it won't be long before it worms it's way over to Thai. Its not the 90's and there not hacking into the mainframe, there are dozens of spy apps on Google that can be downloaded into a device in seconds, no wherewithal needed at all, and no  knowledge of computer programming with, they just download simple app and your device is hacked, all they need is  just a few seconds with someone's device. 

 

It was just a friendly warning to alert people to be very careful who they add to their WhatsApp and messenger, not scaremongering. Also be careful who you let use your device even if they want to take pictures or make a simple phone call home to mum whilst you are in the shower or toilet. 

 

This is a brand new scam and is going to become massive over the years so just be careful
