Webcam trolling


Webcam Trolling is a type of fraud , when the abuser creates/downloads and uses a fake video with a different person in front of the screen and presents it to the victim as a real webcam image. It is usually a video loop , that is used while chatting with the victim.

To attach a fake recording to a video chat, it is possible to have a special application that simulates a virtual vacation and saves it for video recording. You can connect this fake video with web video chat or instant messengers, and you can download fake videos to Facebook or Skype.

With this fake video the internet troll gains the victims trust and records the victim's record throughout the video call, which he then wants to misuse, for example, for the victim's extradition, threats, cyberbullying, stalking, etc.

As an example I you can watch this video from You Tube. In this video is a young boy on social platform called ,, Omegle ,, is looking for a girl to chat with and exchange visual sexual content. We can see , that it is not very hard to be a webcam troller , because every teenager can install and use it on his computer. If you want to know how it ends, just click on the link below.

As a second example I will use the same internet platform as I mentioned before. We can see a young female that is going to take all of her clothes of and than turns herself into something else. She exploits many man in the video and none of them would in the beginning think , that it is just a webcam troller and that it is going to turn out the way it did
