HOW ARE PREDATORS ABLE TO SEDUCE A TOTAL STRANGER INTO AN ACTIVITY THAT WILL FOREVER COMPROMISE THEIR FUTURE?Online seduction is an interesting idea. Everyday, thousands of victims around the globe fall prey to online seduction. Sometimes, in only a matter of minutes. Think about this... can you imagine a 15 year old guy who meets a 15 year old girl in the mall and they go into the bathroom, strip naked, and take photos and exchange them? Seems absolutely crazy, and yet, research tells us that at least 1 out of 6 males and 1 out of 7 females have shared a nude image online with someone they never met. The results are often heartbreaking. Before we pick on teenagers, did you know that the adult romance scam business is now a $105 BILLION business just in the U.S? That is correct. It seems adults and yes older adults, get lonely and go online through video game chat rooms, dating sites, and even hook ups through Instagram and Facebook and fall in love with a total stranger. Then they end up sending literally billions of dollars to someone they never met. So how does this work? During the next couple of podcasts we are going to examine the art of online seduction. We will look at what factors make a victim vulnerable. We will look at how predators chose their victims and what scenarios work best to extort, blackmail and scam a teenager or adult. Most important, we will discuss how to intervene if someone you know is being sextorted and how to prevent you and your family to falling prey to online seduction.
