I'm not a victim but I know how this scheme works.
Long post ahead:
Hi, I'm from the Philippines and first of all, I just want to say sorry for all the victims here who couldn't sleep and paranoid thinking about what they've done and currently experiencing sextortion. I know you guys are aware about this scheme coz majority of members here are victims, but let me tell you that I know everything how this scheme works. I know bunch of people who do this, personally. Some used to be my childhood friends. Some are schoolmates. And some are used to be my neighbors. I even know how they do it on various dating apps. Especially on tinder, Bumble, Boo, OkCupid, etc. These are majority apps they used to talk to foreign people. They paid these apps and put on travel mode and they have scripts. They have what they called 'models' means women, I mean, actual women who would be their model on the app. The actual person you talking to is a man. Well it could be a girl too coz apparently these models are doing it too to make their own commissions. They would first swipe right on your profile and of course, they'll message you first and start a conversation until they'd make u into exchanging numbers or social apps like Instagram or Facebook and they would ask u to talk on WhatsApp or telegram convincing you that it's more convenient, but it's already too good to be true or suspicious, especially if they compliment you or being freaky in texts. After, they would suddenly be a straight forward like telling you that they were bored and lonely and then ask you to chill on call or face time first until you grab the bait. Now, they would give their phone to the model and tell her "Paaya na" which means "it's showtime". Basically they'd like showing you their 🍒 to their victims and seducing you into showing your 🍆 without you knowing they caught that already on video and would pull a scam. Some models are transgender or ladyboy too. Actually a lot. Mind you guys, these models have their own room and theyre on 12 hrs duty everyday. Just imagine the victims they're talking to every single day. I also know they split the money:
Receiver - The receiver would receive 10% of the total money they would get from their victims. Take note: that 'receivers' are those people who would receive the money using their bank wallets, so when they send you details, it's not really them, it's another people they know that aren't afraid to use their real name to receive the money
Model - 10% Apparently, these models are not really paid well even though they're the main factors as to how their victims show their private parts. I don't even know why?
The employee (🤮) 40% - I don't know what it's called, but these are the people you talking to on the apps and your WhatsApp or Telegram
The boss - Of course, this wouldn't be possible without the mastermind. The one who budgets everything. The one who talks to their victims after those models were done with them. The one who pays for the rent of the place they're staying into. Basically the one who pays for everything. He'll also receive the 40% of the total money.
These people are staying into different appartments every month to avoid suspicious and of course, police raid. They earn a lot of money doing this scheme. Last time I heard, there's this one person who was really afraid and pay them 19k pounds which if you convert into peso 1.5M or 25k usd and if that's true, that's really fvcked up and that's for only one person so it's really absurd if you think about it.
I know some people. Even their names, but I have no proofs of them doing that because they always move into different cities in the Philippines. I only know this information because this scheme are everywhere in the Philippines. As much as I want to help, I can't really do anything about it and worse case, it'll put me into trouble. I found this sub out of curiousity and I've been reading for quite some time already and it's really sad seeing so many victims here are struggling to sleep, couldn't eat, and pay their hard-earned money to these scumbags. I'm really really sorry. I hope you guys will be okay. Sorry for my grammar and thank you for reading until the end.
