# Blackmailing Blackmailing scams have also risen in frequency with the rise in popularity of online dating. The main theme behind this scam is to get compromising and personal photos of a user and then try to blackmail them while using those photos as leverage. The thread presented here is that if the victim won’t comply his/her photos will be leaked online for the world to see. Depending on the user, these photos might have a debilitating effect on the personal or professional life of the user. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
