Because the person making the call does have proof that the victim actually picked up the call. If they needed to they could show up in person and show the blackmailing material to someone else (wife, boss), and show them on their screen that the victim picked up the call, and prove it. That's surely worth something.
- davchana 3y agoShowing up in person to blackmail is a sureshot way to get beaten up by victim and their supporters in India, 99% of the times. It is like police-on-the-way pay up right now scams happening in USA. Scammer takes advantage of fear of insult of police showing up & in handcuffs. If the police actually show up, the fear is gone, it can't be undone. The naked video chat scam, when it was new, was mostly banking on victim wanting to keep it secret or wanting to go away. Once of somebody shows up, that shame is gone; and beating ensues. Yes, Photoshop happens, simple clothed people face gets plastered of fake screenshots. There are plenty of other scams going on. Like international caller will call and say your son/daughter/relative is on trouble (hospital, police, accident) amd pay right now to get him saved from that said trouble. Or caller will say that I will send you X amount of money to safe keep, but pay x/100 now to get X across. And many.
