Scammers abusing stolen pics and videos of Holly Lemyre

[firefly]

The most recents arrests you may find in our media reports. A case in Morocco and a huge case in Philippines - this last one with more than 90 people arrested for being involved in blackmail scams/sextortion.

About their real identities, you may find those posted in the topics where the scammers are reported.

Really great job. I hope that what you do will be useful in my case and I hope that my video will never appear again on the internet. However I have read in some articles that some police agencies (like interpol) were able to track the scammers from the computers of some victims: do you think that it could be useful to notify everything to the local police here?

The police cannot track these kinds of scammers using victim pcs, nor will they even spend police resources to try to.
You may notify the local police, and make a report. It might be useful to bring more attention and public awareness of this kind of scam via newspaper/online reports and articles. Victim names are not used in them, but some newspapers do publish police reports in some countries. The best way to slow the scammers down is through education.

So basically it's up to me and it will never change what will happen to me (whether I will be exposed or not). I will think about that and I will take a decision about that. Thank you for the info.
