Hi, 1 month ago I was scammed through chatroulette. The scammer pretending to be a girl led me to add her on Skype.
Then she pretended Skype wasn't working so I had to re-open Skype.
Then we started sexual activity which of course she recorded. After that she showed my a list of about 20 names, that I assume she somehow got through a hack in Skype. Because I am sure she didn't have my real name, and my Skype name does not contain my full name. Just my first name. So she had no real way of knowing who I am.
The list of people she showed, I didn't know any of them, but when I looked those names up on facebook, some were connected through friends of mine, however not to me. (Luckily!!!).
The only thing I wonder is: How can she get 20 names of people who live in my country, and have far connections to my facebook friends, but none of them were my actual FB friends.
I can only think of that they hacked into my computer or something.
Couldn't find anything about that here, sorry if I didn't search right.
Any experience with this?
In any case, I blocked her immediately and we haven't spoken ever since it became clear she was a scammer.
However I just reminded it because I got a Skype friend request (she only knows my skype name), from a weird name that I thought might be the scammer.
Thanks!
