RTP warn porn enthusiasts to stay ‘hard’ on security as unsuspecting victim loses 3 million baht

[webfact]

 

The Royal Thai Police (RTP) issued a warning to pornography lovers to be vigilant after a victim was fleeced of 3 million baht after he browsed an illegal porn website.

 

The RTP yesterday told a gathering press pack that the top five scams in Thailand included counterfeit products and services, fraudulent part-time or freelance jobs, loan scams, call centre scams, and investment scams. The RTP added that a popular new scam is pushing to get into the top five – porn site extortion.

 

The RTP made known that the victim was contacted by the administrator of a porn site he browsed and invited him to add the website as a friend on the LINE application. The admin informed the victim that there was more free adult content available on the LINE account, so the victim agreed to add it.

The victim was then invited to perform a series of tasks to access more free explicit content and then lured into applying as a member of a website called the v-verve club.

and where did he loose the 3 Million?? Line and memberships doesn't cause that...did he transfer money?

"RTP warn porn enthusiasts to stay ‘hard’" .. strange choice of words putting it to the public, getting hard is not a problem, staying hard, however, is tricky at times.

My guess as the post says, he was lured into doing certain tasks and become a member... 

I bet he gave card details somewhere along the line.

but what card you can charge 3 Million online and that without confirmation on the mobile phone.

I could think of that they let him install a key logger, there are ways to take over the mobile phone. So in the night a bad guy can transfer money using your phone.

But that isn't mentioned....

Anyway I can help this guy out....as just yesterday a prince from Nigeria contacted me and will send me $50 Million.

RTP need not worry: RTP extortion is firmly entrenched as number One

Nah he transfered the money himself

 

"During the tasks, the victim was lured into transferring money to the website. The web admin encouraged the victim to transfer larger amounts assuring him that he would get all of the money back at the end of the game. Eventually, the victim lost 3 million baht to the scam."

 

How do dim people have millions of baht availble to splurge on pornsites? ????‍♂️

WOW!!!!

he should have transferred the 3 Million to me. I would have give him back 2 million. So he would have 2 million more than now. And I would also have 1 million.

Win Win....

Heck for 3 Million he could have real sex not only videos....
