A new digital fraud scheme involving video call scams has recently been circulating. The scam typically begins with the perpetrator contacting potential victims through a video call and then engaging in inappropriate behavior during the call.
Scammers often take advantage of the moment when the victim shows their face to capture screenshots, which are later used for blackmail.
Therefore, it is important for the public to recognize this scheme to avoid becoming victims.
As a preventive measure, the public is reminded not to casually accept video calls from unknown numbers.
If a suspicious call is answered, individuals should immediately turn off their camera to prevent their face from being recorded.
Additionally, the number making the disturbing call should be blocked immediately to prevent the perpetrator from contacting them again.
Use digital media wisely. Do not trust easily, do not panic, and always be cautious of unknown numbers.
