    News reports

    Philippine police, backed by Interpol, say they have arrested 58 suspected members of a cyber-sex extortion syndicate. Users worldwide were lured into exposing themselves via webcams and then blackmailed.

    Cyber sextortion generally refers to using sexual images (obtained either through enticement or malicious code) in order to extort money from unsuspecting military and civilian victims.

    In November 2012, the security team for Facebook – the world’s largest social networking site – identified a major sextortion ring operating out of the Philippines.

    Syndicate members posing as attractive women used social media to trick online users overseas into exposing their bodies or having cybersex.

    Such acts were videoed online by the extortionists, typically from images sent by webcams attached to the user’s computer devices. The recordings were made “unknown to the victim,”

    While cyber criminals will continue to plague social networking websites and look for unsuspecting victims, there are measures that can be taken to avoid becoming a victim of these types of scams.

    Recordings used for blackmail

    The extortionists then threatened to send those recordings to relatives and friends of each user, unless they paid via money transfer remittance companies.

    Interpol’s Singapore-based digital crime investigator Sanjay Virmani said hundreds of extortion victims were located in Asia, Europe and the United States.

    The scale of these extortion networks is massive and run with just one goal in mind — to make money regardless of the terrible emotional damage they inflict on their victims.

     

    EDITOR’S NOTE

    As long as porn sites and social media provide opportunity and capability to extort money from people, there will continue to be many opportunities for cyber sextortion predators.

    Hope everyone will be more wary of sexy looking foreign women writing in broken English and demand for contact details to conduct video or Skype call. Only you can prevent such situation from happening. Don’t fall for the trap.

  • STB Video Ranked 2nd in Worst Promotional Tourism Videos For Cities

    Hastily pulled by embarrassed authorities after an explosion of internet parodies, this 3-minute video for the Singapore tourism board follows a couple on their anniversary break in the city. With a script as varied and exciting as Singapore itself, featuring lines like “Honey, look!” and “Honey, look at that!” and “Wow, amazing!”, this is truly a classic of the genre. Be sure to watch until the end for the plot twist.

    Best line: “Look, honey!”

    This video is so cringe-worthy that Singapore Tourism Board has removed it from its own channel.

    Watch to know why it was deleted by its creator.

    This video was apparently uploaded on Singapore Tourism Board’s site, but promptly taken down after it became ‘viral’ for being such an ‘awesome’ well produced video. Mistake, or intent, we will never know.

    The actors are NOT Singaporean. They are Filipinos.

    But for the rest of Singapore, revel in the ingenuity of STB’s video to attract tourism.

  • Filipina Woman Snatch My Husband

    Dear R1C,

    Recently I caught my husband cheating on me. He has several contacts with women with weird names like ‘Heart’, ‘Wind’, ‘Cherry Love’, ‘Rain’.  I dunno what is his fascination with Filipina women but I heard they they are very persuasive and always give men the girlfriend experience. There were several mushy text conversations between him and these women. The most heart broken ones come from a woman who claimed her name is ‘Ice’. Mind you they are still exchanging SMS. You see he is working in shipping line. He always say he travels a lot and will be back several days later. Whenever he comes back he will bring back a lot of money. But he never bring me out shopping.  He will only pay for household expenses and very calculative. Now I know why he is so stingy. All these while he has so many mistresses and I am sure this woman named Ice is someone he has feelings for. We have a son and he is already in upper primary.

    The government are bringing too many of them to Singapore and these women are taking away our husbands. Those who are married would know the challenges to keep a family together, have a decent saving, educate our children and also take care of our spouses so that they will not run away with foreigners. Everytime i see a filipino I get very angry. Because there are too many of them creating a mess out of our lives. Eversince my husband get to know Ice eveything change. He treats me like an invincible wife.

    To Ice who stole my husband please use your brain and touch your heart. Don’t take away other people’s property or belonging. He is my husband. We are married. Please go back to your rotten country. To the Singapore government please stop bringing them in. They are the worst race in this whole wide world. If you have worked with them you will know what I mean.

    Shila

  • Filipinos Think They are Better than Singaporeans and Americans

    We are the Pearl of the Orient, therefore we are precious.

    We are better than Americans, for it was by mere chance that their country is rich and ours is poor. Americans always rely on machines to do their work because they are lazy. They have machines to clean the floor, cut wood, cut grass, open tin cans, so many machines for lazy people. Filipinos are more industrious than Americans.

    We are better than the Chinese or Japanese or Koreans or Germans because we speak good English. English is the language of science, technology and commerce so we Filipinos have a better understanding of those fields. Just wait, very soon Filipinos will go to space and we will be more proud than before.

    Sa Tagalog:
    Kami ang Perlas ng Silangan, kung gayon kami ay mamahálin.

    Daig namin ang mga Amerikano, dala lamang ng pagkakataon na mayaman ang bansa nila at mahirap ang sa amin. Ang mga Amerikano ay laging naka-asa sa mga makinarya sa kanilang mga gawain sapagkat sila ay tamad. Meron silang makina panglinis ng sahig, panglagare ng kahoy, pangputol ng damo, pangbukas ng delata, maraming mga makina para sa mga tamad na tao. Mas masipag ang Pilipino kesa Amerikano.

    Daig namin ang mga Intsik o Hapon o Koreano o Aleman sapagkat mahusay kami sa Ingles. Ingles ang salita ng syensa, teknolohiya at negosyo kaya mas naiintidahan namin ang mga bagay na yan. Maghintay ka ng konting panahon dahil malapit ng makarating sa kalawakan ang Pilipino at lalong meron kaming ipagyayabang.
