Sextortion scams, North Brisbane
S/Con Kim RICHTER on Apr 3, 2023 @ 10:44am
Online blackmail involving sexual extortion is called “sextortion”. It is when an offender coerces a person into sending explicit images and then extorting them for money.

Most offending is initiated via dating, gaming and social media apps. The offender uses various methods to seduce or pressure a person and invite them to a chat platform such as WhatsApp, Discord or similar, where the conversation will move to the offender asking for revealing or naked photos.

The scammer will then demand some form of payment and make threats to send the pictures to friends and family members on social media or their workplace.

Globally, authorities are seeing a significant increase in sextortion.

How it works
Offenders create a fake profile, and send a direct message on social media.

The fake profile will then suggest that the chat continues onto another platform, usually one where you can video call, or where images and videos can be sent.

The chat will usually turn sexual, and the fake profile will convince you to participate in intimate video calls or send images or videos of yourself.

During video calls, this content is recorded without you knowing.

Once the person has your content, they will ask you for a large amount of money, threatening to share it with your friends and family from your social media contacts.

They might ask for cryptocurrency, online bank transfer, or online / gift cards.

Once you have paid them, they will continue to ask you for money and threaten to share your content.

How to deal with it
These offenders will make you feel like you will be in trouble for what has happened to keep the crime going. It is important to know that you’ve done nothing wrong.

Report to police
If something does happen to you, know that you’re not alone. If you’re using an online site or dating platform, be familiar with its security and privacy settings and notify them immediately if you spot something suspicious.

You can report suspicious activity to police via ReportCyber (www.cyber.gov.au/report) and receive expert, specialised support by reaching out to IDCARE on https://www.idcare.org/contact/get-help

Warning signs of unsafe chat:

You are quickly asked to change to a private chat app
They have almost no online profile
They quickly ask for sexual photos and/or videos of you.
Their we**am is broken, they offer excuses to avoid video of themselves
They ask for help and say it is an emergency
What do I do?

Never send naked or intimate images, especially to someone you do not know. Once an image goes onto the internet it cannot be retrieved.
Do not send any money
Stop all contact, block their profile and warn your friends of their account name
Change your passwords and online accounts, review your privacy settings
Report the matter
Stop and think before sending photos of yourself, be sceptical of who you are chatting to and anyone who asks you to send them money, gifts or banking/credit card details.

To learn more about this type of offence and get support, go to the e-Safety Commissioner’s website.

If you have information for police, contact Policelink by providing information using the online suspicious activity form 24hrs per day at www.police.qld.gov.au/reporting.

Report crime information anonymously via Crime Stoppers. Call 1800 333 000 or report online at www.crimestoppersqld.com.au.

Queensland Police launch Operation Victor Easter
myPolice on Mar 30, 2023 @ 1:16pm
Police Minister Mark Ryan joined Queensland Police Service (QPS) Acting Assistant Commissioner Chris Stream and emergency service representatives to launch the Easter Road Safety campaign, reminding motorists there are no excuses when it comes to road safety during these school holidays.

Operation Victor Easter will be conducted from Saturday, April 1 to Sunday, April 16, encompassing the Easter long weekend, in what is expected to be a very busy time on Queensland’s road network.

Police will conduct targeted operations and maintain a highly visible presence on highways and roads to reduce trauma and fatalities across Queensland.

Many Queenslanders will be taking road trips into unfamiliar areas throughout the holiday period and are urged to avoid the fatal five: speeding, drink or drug driving, not wearing a seatbelt, driving tired and distracted driving.

QPS Acting Assistant Commissioner Chris Stream said the school holiday periods always see increased traffic on the roads with families eager to get to their destinations and travelling in unfamiliar areas.

“Day or night, ensure you drive to the conditions. Don’t speed or drive affected by drugs or alcohol,” Acting Assistant Commissioner Stream said.

“We know that we can significantly reduce fatal crashes if motorists avoid the fatal five behaviours: speeding, drink or drug driving, not wearing a seatbelt, driving tired and distracted driving.

“Expect to see police conducting roadside operations and patrolling our roads, doing everything we can to reduce road trauma and keep Queenslanders safe.

“Getting stopped by police might be an inconvenience to you, but for us, it is often the best-case scenario when the alternative is responding to a fatal traffic crash.”

Over the Easter long weekend last year, sadly one Queenslander lost their life and 60 injury crashes were recorded across the state, often resulting in life altering injuries.

“One life lost is one too many so please be careful. Every decision you make behind the wheel counts,” Acting Assistant Commissioner Stream said.

“And remember, there is no second chance if you make a fatal decision behind the wheel.”

Police Minister Mark Ryan said the school holidays are a great time to get out and about to explore everything that Queensland has to offer but road safety must come first.

“Police are always doing their part to promote road safety and enforce road rules, and you can expect to see them anywhere, anytime,” Minister Ryan said

“It is also critical that motorists prioritise their own safety on the roads.

“Plan your trip, take regular breaks, share the driving, and ensure everyone is buckled up.

“If you see police officers out and about over the break, remember they’re sacrificing time with their own families to make sure that you and yours get home safely.”

Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) Assistant Commissioner David Hartley said each year paramedics are confronted with traumatic injuries as a result of road traffic crashes over the notorious Easter period.

“Decisions made while behind the wheel don’t just affect the driver, but everyone in the vehicle and other road users,” Assistant Commissioner Hartley said.

“A split-second crash can result in a life-time of rehabilitation or tragically a life cut short.”

Easter long weekend 2022 stats:

One life lost
60 injury crashes recorded in Queensland
3,788 traffic infringements issued
1,217 infringements issued to speeding drivers
471 motorists caught while driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Police officers aren’t born, they’re made, with every challenge or adversity overcome, and their personal values, helping to shape them into great officers who can make a real difference.
