Cheshire Police are warning internet users …….

Scammers are approaching male internet users online, encouraging them to engage in sexual activity over a webcam, and then threatening to post the video of them online to family and friends unless they make a large cash payment.

….. The screen then went blank, with a message showing all his contacts and family contacts over Facebook, warning that the video would be sent to all of them if he did not pay £500.
